In this paper I wish to discuss Internet copyright law, with particular attention to what is and is not allowed in the downloading of information. While the use of a computer's special features should be welcomed, not everything that a computer is capable of is permissible. Those of us involved in data compilation and editing must stay alert to this. Rather than debate on what is and is not allowed. I would like to propose that we should be leaning toward an emphasis on data compilation and construction in our work. Especially now, when information is piling up and the demand for data is rapidly increasing, what we need to do is not to look back on what has been done with computers, but instead to look forward to what computers are now capable of: for recording, registering, manufacturing, compiling, constructing, sending, and searching, and apply these capabilities to our work in a meaningful way. Ultimately, it is according to the nature of such aims that our work will be evaluated.
