Content sharing has raised new problems all over again with copyright. Copyright has only been around for about two centuries. Building creation on creation has been done since Shakespeare’s day by rewriting ideas in a new way. So the future decisions that are to made over the internet copyright laws are critical ones in the worlds development. Yes I do believe there will be new laws as technology get better.
The original copyright laws were given to protect the author so all his creation money goes to him. The new and easily assessable editing tool has made it easier for the everyday person to edit on the World Wide Web. Meaning remix and mashup has become new issues. But if they are not making money on remix and mashups, then is that an offence. I would say only if they cause harm to one of the original authors.
