United States, Georgia, Clarke County, Athens, 33.96095, -83.37794Harrison, Jeffrey L.2005-10<p>This Article has two goals. The first is to explain in some detail what copyright law might look like if it reflected economic reasoning. The second is to put to the test the question of whether copyright law is as far out of sync with economic guidelines as cases ranging from <em>White-Smith Music</em> to <em>Eldred</em> suggest. Although this introduction has stressed the economic irrationality of copyright law, could it actually be that within copyright decisions there is an implicit economic sensibility?</p>White-Smith Music Co. v.
