Abstract:

 Existing copyright laws in the US do not adequately address the concerns of digital publishers. While
digital works enjoy the same copyright protections as print works, new laws and legal theories may be needed to address
the unique qualities of digital works and technologies. The United States has been slow to address the issues surrounding
digital infringement through legislation, changes at the US Copyright Office or through international treaties and agreements. Digital copyright infringement has primarily been addressed in the court system although even the courts utilize
traditional copyright notions of "fair use" to analyze digital infringement. Digital copyright infringement cases will need
to work their way through the US legal system in an effort to establish a body of law that will adequately addresses unique
digital copyright infringement issues.
