What Lawyers Can Learn From Comic Books, Lessig reivews Mr. Mehra's (a University of Chicago-educated lawyer) latest article in Rutgers Law Review which looks at the question of copyright from the perspective of business. "For it seems clear, as Mr. Mehra demonstrates, that this copycat market fuels for original manga art demand that otherwise would not exist. The "use" of this copyrighted content therefore benefits the original author." I have always thought the same of music. I have many friends who are professional DJ's and music producers, almost all when they hear a sample they like go hunt down the original to own!!!
