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.

The original maketshare declined, and the business model need to be redesign. Finally, it become an political issue because most of the problem are new to the society and the government are asked to be stand out to do something. No matter setting up the new law or dealing with lawsuit, government need to take side or rethinking all the situation.
