Copyright reform refers to changes in laws and regulations that govern the protection of creative works, such as music, literature, and art. The goal of these reforms is to balance the rights of creators with the public's access to information and culture. This often involves updating existing laws to address new technologies and distribution methods, like the internet and digital media. Reform efforts may include shortening the duration of copyright protection, allowing for more flexible fair use policies, or improving access to public domain works. These changes aim to foster innovation and creativity while ensuring that creators are fairly compensated for their work.
