Abstract

The article explores how digital technology is revolutionizing the representation and ownership of artifacts, complicating traditional notions of intellectual property and cultural preservation. It argues that high-quality digital reproductions, such as MP3 files and digital images, challenge existing legal frameworks, highlighting the need for more flexible and culturally sensitive approaches to intellectual property rights.
