Free Culture and Property Rights

Free Culture and Property Rights 02/10/2004 02:47 AM
Over at the Progress and Freedom Foundation blog, James DeLong attempts to prove that the "Free Culture Movement" (FCM) led by people like Larry Lessig is part and parcel of the political left:

This is a nice case of simply asserting what the author is allegedly attempting to prove.  In fact, Free Culture is eminently consistent with markets and property rights.  Lessig's Creative Commons and successful open source projects are based on well-defined software licenses.  In other words, property rights that function in a market.  The network infrastructure piece of Free Culture, open spectrum is expressly built on the idea of a market in wireless devices replacing a system of government spectrum micro-management.  And it was the Framers of the US Constitution, hardly anti-property radicals, who decreed that copyrights be for a limited period of time. 

The property rights maximalists are the true radicals here.  They have defined any challenges to the status quo as a frontal attack on property rights.  As political propaganda, this effort may have some success.  But the ultimate strength of the Free Culture Movement, or whatever one calls it, lies in this: It is an internal critique of the dominant ideology, not an external challenge to markets like communism. 

The Free Culture proponents, who offer suggestions like returning to the copyright terms of the 1790s, are the true conservatives in this debate.

James Grimmelmann has penned a bloody brilliant essay about the issues raised by allowing (or not allowing) players to hold an intellectual property right to objects they create in games. Inspired by the Second Life announcement at last month's State of Play conference, Grimmelmann presents and synthesizes the positions of a variety of the world's leading thinkers on IP, game economics, and playability, and comes up with more questions than answers. There's fodder for a dozen sf novels here -- and just when I thought that stories about VR worlds where anything can happen (and hence nothing is interesting) were narratively dead in the water...

# Castronova cares about the game society, but not so much about the platform. He's thinking about these in-game values as things that we ought to encourage, perhaps by giving appropriate economic incentives to game owners. It's okay with him if the owners keep their game platforms locked down. As long as some owners give their players a rule-set that preserves in-game freedom, fairness, and community, it's all good.

# Benkler is more or less the opposite. He'd love to see some games ripped open at the level of the platform -- developed by distributed groups and run without a single centralized owner-god-wizard. In his writings on the regulation of communications infrastructure and media concentration, Benkler has consistently emphasized the view that avoiding such concentrations of power at the infrastructure level is the most important act -- from it, everything good flows.

# The agoraXchange people want both the platform and the game world to be open. Now, the question above tugs at apotential tension between these two forms of openness. When push absolutely comes to shove, the agoraXchange team will assert control at the platform layer if their core values are threatened in the game universe; otherwise, they walk the walk and quack the quack of freedom at every level.

# Bartle really doesn't care about either form of freedom. My caricature of him lives in what might be caricatured as the "game designer" paradigm: I want to be free to create whatever strange and twisted world I want. If players like it, they'll join and stay; if they don't like it, they'll go somewhere. Now, Bartle is a great designer, and as with the other great designers, his writings involve an exquisite level of sympathy for (and understanding of) players. But his is basically a "game"-centric view: if you build it, they will play. There aren't political questions here, except potentially if stupid lawyers come barging in and start treating games as something other than games.

The Trust and Distrust of Intellectual Property Rights by Peter K. YU
http: //papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=578563

Abstract By Author:

Abstract:
In the past, intellectual property issues were considered complex, obscure, and highly technical; they were only of interest and concern to intellectual property attorneys, legal scholars, technology developers, and rightsholders. Thanks to the Internet and new communications technologies, however, intellectual property has now begun to play a more significant role in society.

In December 2003, the first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was held in Geneva. While the conference affirmed the importance of intellectual property rights and free access to information and knowledge, the resulting Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action fail to address issues concerning the recent expansion of intellectual property rights. Being vague and abstract, the documents also fail to provide concrete actions as to how the international community can improve the international intellectual property regime.

This book chapter examines the international intellectual property regime as it relates to the development of an inclusive global information society. Part I provides an overview of the various intellectual property rights and justifications for protecting these rights. Part II explores the increased distrust of the intellectual property system, especially among less developed countries, human rights advocates, development specialists, and those on the unfortunate side of the digital divide. Part III delineates five prerequisites for the development of a fair, balanced, and robust international intellectual property regime: (1) thorough understanding, (2) balanced debate, (3) effective dialogue, (4) fair regime, and (5) global solidarity. Part IV concludes by critically examining the intellectual property-related portions of the WSIS Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action.

Does Violating Intellectual Property
Rights Make You A Terrorist?

Does Violating Intellectual Property
Rights Make You A Terrorist? 12/03/2003 06:14 PM
It used to be that any hope for a reasonable debate was ended the second anyone called someone else a "Nazi" (see Godwin 's Law). These days, perhaps it should be amended to include anyone calling someone else a "terrorist." Remember a few months back when the World Intellectual Property Organization cancell ed a meeting about open source along with a quote that open source was "contrary to the goals of WIPO." Apparently that wasn't a one-off statement. Instead of exploring issues related to intellectual property, WIPO seems to now firmly believe that there is one and only one way to use intellectual property: and that's to lock it up. WIPO's director, Kamil Idris, was quoted today saying that "Pira cy is like terrorism today." This leaves little (if any) room for an open debate on how there are ways to support intellectual property without having to lock it all up. While the quote is talking about counterfeit products that aren't up to the safety levels of original products, it's way too broad a statement. Certainly, these counterfeit products are dangerous and something should be done about them. However, simply equating all intellectual property violations with "terrorism" goes too far. In the same talk Idris claims that stronger enforcement of intellectual property rights could help developing nations improve their economies. This, of course, is exactly the opposite of what a few studies have found, saying that developing nations would be much stronger without such draconian intellectual property laws. But why should Idris rely on studies when he's in charge of WIPO and his opinion must be right on all things related to intellectual property?
