Horror writer Stephen King discovered this when he tried to embrace the medium by releasing a book exclusively online in instalments. But the experiment backfired when King halted it after just six chapters were published, saying people had been unprepared to pay for things they usually just took for free.

NewsBank Popular Periodicals: Copyrighting Laws - 0 views
-
ACCORDING TO THE U.S. Copyright Office, "copyright" refers to a form of protection provided by U.S. law to the authors of "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual rights. The owner of copyrighted material generally has the exclusive right to authorize such things as reproducing, distributing and displaying the work.
-

-
But by giving notice of your copyright--and registering your work on a regular basis--you'll help prevent it from being stolen or misappropriated in the future. Better yet, it will give you an effective weapon to use against violators if you need to.

the Business Software Alliance is a "far less unpopular organization" than the RIAA. I think the answers are quite illuminating. First, BSA's members have always offered their products for sale to the public, through any channel that wants to sell them. Second, BSA's members are consumer-oriented; they try to develop products that respond to consumers' needs, and not, the reverse: focusing on what they want to sell to consumers.

It is true that there have in the past been complaints about the music industry from the public and retailers -- retailers, almost all of whom have been driven out of business. These complaints are though about poor business practices, not business practices. The complaints aren't that the record industry is a business, but that it has been poorly run as a business.
