According to David Dritsas, senior editor of E-Gear, "One could argue that Napster is facilitating the mass proliferation of copywritten material." Dritsas compares digital content's novelty to the proliferation of analog tapes more than a decade ago. "But in essence, the sharing of tape cassettes and recordable CDs are no different than the Napster issue," he explains. While trading files among a few friends is certainly different than hosting hits for hundreds of thousands online, copyright law's latest win still asks whether digital assets are immune to traditional protection. Publishers are questioning the manner in which they, too, distribute, store and even market textual and graphical wares. Until now, the Internet has been a portal in which little traditional legal pow wow has been practiced.
