"Over the past century it has become a truism that the law takes too long to catch up with advances in technology."
"And it frankly recognizes that the lag might worsen with the advance of AI, which disrupts ownership definitions in many creative industries."
"The paper covers six formats: phonographs, radio, tape, file-sharing, interactive streaming, and user-generated content services (think of YouTube)."
"For those not in the mood to read, the chart below admirably conveys a timeline of technology and legal actions."
Over the past century, copyright law has taken too long to catch up with advances in technology. The lag may worsen as AI disrupts ownership definitions in many creative industries. The work examines six technology-driven formats: phonographs, radio, tape, file-sharing, interactive streaming, and user-generated content services such as YouTube. It begins with a historical review of major developments, including Edison, supported by detailed footnoting. The material includes a timeline chart that pairs technology changes with legal actions, providing a quick view for readers who do not want to read the full historical narrative. The paper is available as a free download.
