Abstract: | The concept of fair use was introduced in the Copyright Act of 1976 as a means of allowing limited free access to copyrighted
material. However, the application of fair use principles in the adjudication of infringement cases has demonstrated a fundamental
problem in our approach to intellectual property rights. In much the same way as Hardin recognized a tragedy of the commons,
continued efforts to make decisions based on the fair use doctrine run the risk of creating an information anti-commons. |
