Introduction
The concept of copyright is not new. It is an old concept that continues to be applied to multiple products within multiple industries within our modern society. As advances in technology have transpired, so have the economic and political ideologies that seek to protect, apply and enforce the concept of copyright.
Since the concept of copyright is so versatile, the implications of the term have changed over time. So much so, that common notions of what constitutes copyright is highly conditional on the individual. In fact, the entire concept of copyright has different meanings to different individuals.
Our intention with this Scenario Planning exercise is to define copyright in broad terms, and then specifically illustrate how the Internet and World Wide Web have changed the implications of copyright within the media industries: audio, video, and publishing. We will examine the technological, economic and political driving forces that facilitate or hinder these changes, and also the legal and social implications for society.

Driving forces of copyright
Description:
We have identified four major driving forces: technological, economic, legal and political. In our present society, the rapid pace of technological development means that it is the most obvious driving force for copyright issues. This subsequently prompts economic driving forces to come into play. The economic implications of the technology will ascertain whether the technology endangers or liberates copyright issues. It may be evidenced through a reduction in product marketshare or sales, or may even call for a redesign in existing business models. Legal driving forces become a major issue when financial and economic questions are raised regarding copyright. In theory, the law is implemented to protect firms and individuals from financial and intellectual property losses. However, the interpretation of this law is varied and contingent on many factors: nature of the copyright issue, medium, parties involved and importantly, although indirectly, any political driving forces. Protection of a nation's intellectual property - be it artistic, technological or simply procedural - is a serious issue. It applies equally to individuals or corporations alike.
