Copyright law in transition. Collective imaginary and norms

Summary/Abstract: Research presented in the article concerns copyright as a sociological phenomenon, considered in a broad socio‑cultural context. From this perspective, copyright is not just a codified law, but most importantly a social construct and shared imaginary. Norms and values – described in our text as “copynorms” – are as important a research subject as the state of knowledge about law itself. We define what we call “copyright anomie”, a state of moral ambivalence with regard to copying and copyright, caused by sudden technological change.
