Test of Time — Discussion

It has been more than 10 years since the last major update of this important legislation. In that time, the Internet and other new technologies have radically changed the way in which we produce and access copyright material.

For example, in 1998, the first MP3 player, which could store up to one hour of music, hit the market. Today’s players can hold thousands of songs, videos and photographs. All of that content is available at your fingertips in a device the size of a credit card at a fraction of the cost of the original versions. We can only imagine what’s in store over the next 10 years.

Discussion Question
