Abstract

Recent copyright reform efforts include legislation in the Congress that would create a copyright claims board to help individual creators and small businesses enforce their copyrights without the expense and complexity of federal court litigation. This article reviews similar tribunals in other countries and examines the proposed board to determine whether it would be effective, both for small claims plaintiffs and in advancing the goals of copyright overall. Test cases involving different types of plaintiffs and defendants are used in order to determine whether the proposed board would in practice level the playing field for individual creators in copyright infringement suits.

最近的版权改革努力包括国会立法，成立版权索赔委员会，帮助个人创作者和小企业执行版权，而无需联邦法院诉讼的费用和复杂性。本文回顾了其他国家的类似法庭，并审查了拟议的委员会，以确定它是否有效，无论是对小额索赔原告还是对推进版权的整体目标。使用涉及不同类型原告和被告的测试案例，以确定拟议的委员会在实践中是否会为个人创作者在版权侵权诉讼中创造公平的竞争环境。

期刊介绍： The societal, cultural, economic and political dimensions of communication, including the freedoms of speech and press, are undergoing dramatic global changes. The convergence of the mass media, telecommunications, and computers has raised important questions reflected in analyses of modern communication law, policy, and regulation. Serving as a forum for discussions of these continuing and emerging questions, Communication Law and Policy considers traditional and contemporary problems of freedom of expression and dissemination, including theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues inherent in the special conditions presented by new media and information technologies.
