Week 3 (February 11): Digital ADR

Tom Rubin

Disputes between content owners and technology innovators have long played a central role in the development of copyright law and business models for content. Several of those battles, particularly in the digital age, have been resolved in nontraditional and creative ways outside the courtroom. We will look in particular at the resolution of lawsuits involving the digital audio tape (DAT) recorder and YouTube, which included both legal and extralegal solutions.
