Private Copying

One sentence in Goldstein’s book Copyright’s Highway that really stuck out to me is when he plainly states, “private copying cannot be regulated”. As simple as this statement is, I feel it could not be more true. It was refreshing to hear Goldstein state this since I think it is something everyone has thought at one point or another in relation to America’s copyright system. No matter how much the copyright system improves in the years to come, I don’t think that private copying will ever become totally extinct. There will always be people who know how to get around copyright laws and possess both the technology and wit for doing so.
