Think Quarterly: 21st Century Copyright

Monday, April 2, 2012

At Google, we rely on data. But numbers don’t get (most) people excited, stories do. And we want to get people as excited about the web’s potential as we are. That’s why we launched Think Quarterly—to share our insights and inspirations.

Our latest issue is dedicated to Creativity. The web is the driving force behind an unprecedented creative revolution. There are now more than 800 exabytes of digital information in the world—videos, photos, music, text. Sixty hours of new video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. This is our creative output; the sheer volume is overwhelming.

This raises important questions, which senior vice president and general counsel Kent Walker explores in “21st Century Copyright.” How do we encourage the democratization of creativity while protecting original work? Which frameworks should we embrace and which do we need to reject? How can technologists, consumers and lawmakers navigate this new world? Read it here.
