• Resumen

  • The article discusses how copyright protection used by some technical companies can have a negative impact on the sales of their products. The author argues that copyright does not promote product sales or stop online pirating, but instead creates inconvenience for honest users. An example is provided of a test he conducted that examined sales after one year of making paper and free electronic copies of his computer book available. Also discussed are actions taken by the music industry to end copyright protection.
