Summary
Article examines decision in ProCD v. Zeidenberg and the economic justifications for the ruling that contracts are usually not preempted by the Copyright Act. Author argues that the ProCD ruling does not actually reduce "deadweight loss associated with copyright" and that the benefits in creative incentive and efficiency do not deserve as much credit as they are given. Author advocates congressional intervention in contracts/copyright law.
