About this listen
Thanks to copyright laws, artists, writers and scientists are able to create without fear of theft. On an individual basis protection of intellectual property is a good thing. But systematically these laws create barriers and unequal access to art and knowledge. If you've ever tried to open a scholarly article or research online you know how difficult it is to access. What happened to the internet's great promise to democratize knowledge? In this podcast, producer Naheed Mustafa explores the fate of “open access” — all in the ever-expanding universe of copyright laws, paywalls and old-fashioned bureaucratic sludge.
