Depends on the legislative culture. For example, from the Copywrongs talk from now Felix Reda: > The other legal tradition underlying the EU copyright system which is the continental European tradition of droit d’auteur (or Author's Rights). In this system, the authors of cultural works have certain inalienable rights that they cannot sell to a right holder. And, importantly, the exceptions to copyright, the interests of the public are written into the law. [...] The problem with the continental system is that it is quite inflexible because every time a new technological development comes about, you have to change the law to allow this type of use without a copyright infringement. So every new way of dealing with culture is fobidden by default. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL_Wxu6x1HU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL_Wxu6x1HU Whereas other legislative cultures prefer to set a general framework, then leave the details to the Courts and or to Government ministers.
