The intention of the authors is to show that, despite 300 years of history, "the term copyright itself, used freely in debates surrounding contemporary topics such as iTunes, DVD piracy, and file-sharing, is not only semantically anachronistic but is an anachronistic problem." This has to do, according to Phillips and Watts, with the fact that, today, intellectual property rights became commercially hijacked by the culture or creative industries which seem to be the main profiteers of what is, in the eyes of lawmakers, still considered to be a body of legislation in favour of artists and authors.
