Interview with copyright critic and author Siva Vaidhyanathan

A Slashdot reader posted this interview transcript, “Siva Vaidhyanathan On Copyrights and Wrongs.” Vaidhyanathan is the author of “Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity” and is currently working on another book tentatively titled “The Anarchist in the Library.” The interview talks about the DMCA and the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act (CBDTPA), and basically how copyright laws can and are being used to crush creativity (oh, the irony!) and fair use or customer rights.
