17. Now About Digital Age Issues Digital not physical / Bits not atoms Compound objects: ‘multimedia’ plus software Copying is intrinsic to transmission Copying is performed by the consumer => Consumers suddenly need a copyright licence Copies for personal use are indistinguishable from copies for re-sale, and copies for adaptation Copyability and Adaptability are intrinsic => with permission of Xamax Consultancy Ltd, 2003
