Abstract

If you adhere to a pure economic incentive view of American copyright law, then it may be a waste of judicial resources to "require[e] that courts adjudicate disputes relating to attribution in cases where attribution offers no market benefits -that is, it may be a waste of time to fix a relatively small problem with no economic import.
