Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

T. Gillespie.

Looks at recent legal and cultural battles about digital copyright, to investigate how participation in a digital world is structured: who speaks, what they can say, who hears, and with what consequences. We use these cases to look at the collision of authorship and the market, technology and law, individual and institution, culture and power.
