In a time of rapid change in information technologies, it can help to step back and think carefully about the roles that laws are, and should be, playing. In particular, we can think of copyright as a legal infrastructure for distributing rights and responsibilities, directing revenue streams and shaping new social and economic equilibria in cultural and creative domains. Positioning copyright as infrastructure attends to the ways in which the law intersects and interacts with culture and creativity in relationships and transactions involving humans, organisations, and new technologies. As Uma Suthersanen has observed, a more humane, equitable and inclusive intellectual property system requires that we explore intellectual property ‘beyond the legal discipline’. We echo this, underscoring the vitality of interdisciplinary approaches for copyright. Interdisciplinarity requires more than bringing together distinct disciplines (as in multidisciplinarity); it is the cornerstone for addressing phenomena and problems that cannot be adequately explored within any single discipline.
