194877 VAIDHYANATHAN, Siva. COPYRIGHTS AND COPYWRONGS: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens Creativity. New York: New York University, 2001. xi+243 pp. Hardback. Notes. Index. Very Good boards in Very Good dust jacket in protective glassine. Light general wear. ISBN: 0814788068 $25. Copyright reflects far more than economic interests. Embedded within conflicts over royalties and infringement are cultural values-about race, class, access, ownership, free speech, and democracy-which influence how rights are determined and enforced. Questions of legitimacy-of what constitutes 'intellectual property' or 'fair use,' and of how to locate a precise moment of cultural creation-have become enormously complicated in recent years, as advances in technology increase the speed of cultural reproduction. This book tracks the history of American copyright law through the 20th century, from Mark Twain's vehement calls for 'thick' copyright protection, to recent lawsuits regarding sampling in rap music and the 'digital moment,' exemplified by Napster and MP3 technology. It argues that in its current punitive, highly restrictive form, US copyright law hinders cultural production, and contributes to the poverty of civic culture. Recent copyright law sanctions biases against cultural traditions differing from the Anglo-European model. In African-based cultures, borrowing and building upon earlier cultural expressions is not considered a legal trespass, but a tribute. Rap and hip hop artists practice such 'borrowing' by sampling and mixing, but have been sued and forced to pay substantial monetary damages. Similarly, the oral transmission of culture, with a centuries-old tradition within African American culture, is complicated by current laws. How can ownership of music, lyrics, or stories, passed down through generations be determined? Strict legal guidelines prove insensitive to diverse cultural expression prevalent in the US, revealing racialized values which permeate our system of laws. Copyright should balance public and private interests but the recent rise of 'intellectual property' as a concept has overthrown that balance.
