Is Freeing Up Intellectual Property Not
In Our Economic Interest? 01/05/2005 05:51 AM
Andrew Leonard, at Salon.com, has written an article picking up on a few different recent stories concerning how the entertainment industry is still trying to overly protect pieces of intellectual property. One of the stories he picks up on is that documentary we wrote about recently that can't be watched anymore, because the licenses to some of the content in the film have expired. Leonard finishes his piece by saying the reason this isn't getting much of a response is because there's no economic incentive in the industry to free up this content and let it be seen. This, unfortunately, is a misconception about the discussion over intellectual property. Too many people seem to assume that the idea of freeing intellectual property is somehow "anti-capitalist" or bad for the economy, when it's much more likely that the reverse is true. The idea behind the market is to let the market decide the price of a good, and that doesn't change if that value is zero (which it can be if the supply is infinite, as is the case with intellectual property). Intellectual property laws, however, set an artificial barrier, making the market inefficient. So, if anything, it's these intellectual property protections that are causing problems in the market. And, as people are beginni ng to realize, it is absolutely possible to make money off of content that most think have no economic value. Opening up that "long tail" opens up plenty of new opportunities to make more money, because the market expands. The resources available to make new goods and services becomes much wider, and those raw materials feed into new, valuable offerings that do have economic value. So, while making a documentary available again may not seem to have direct positive economic value, that's short-sighted. Opening up that content makes it possible for someone to figure out a way to add economic value to it.

My cattle grazing grounds are not my idea and vice versa. But thanks to laws I can "own" the idea as if the idea was a cow ; link goes to a interesting university-level paper [PDF]. The author makes some interesting analysis and points attention to the fact that current intellectual property laws can go against well established economic theories at the expense of free market competition theory, technical innovations and society-as-a-whole best interest.

Recommended to people with economic theory experience , but also to everyday public-goods-privatization opposers as the paper isn't (intentionally) way too technical.

Dali on intellectual property 05/05/2004 07:05 AM

Salvador Dalí

Ideas are made to be copied. I have enough ideas to sell them on. I prefer that they are stolen so that i don't have to actually use them myself.

I wish Dalí has said, "works" or "art" instead of "ideas", but this still rocks.

Intellectual Property industries?

Intellectual Property industries? 04/09/2004 04:03 PM
This Department of Justice press release announcing the creation of an Intellectual Property Task Force is an amazing example of the extremist rhetoric that has come to dominate discussion of digital content protection.  Yes, those who create digital goods are entitled to compensation, and violating intellectual property rights, like speeding, is against the law.  But the way this issue is being cast as a challenge to our way of life is just excessive and counter-productive. 

My favorite is the statement that "Intellectual property industries play a significant role in the American economy."  What exactly is an "intellectual property industry?" More to the point, what isn't?  I doubt Wal-Mart would be very successful if others could copy its name in misleading ways, or could reprint its newspaper ads with higher prices. 

Of course, that's not what the press release is talking about.  The term is intended to redefine industries built around creative acts (like the music business) as industries based on exclusive formalizations of past creativity.  Larry Lessig and others have said this better than I can, but the point remains important.  Countless small rhetorical shifts have brought us to a point where the discourse around intellectual property is wildly foreign to our professed values.  Are our heros the pioneers who charted new territory... or the land speculators who came later?

Senate Looking At Intellectual Property
Bills 04/30/2004 01:32 PM
The Senate Judiciary committee has given the okay on four proposed intellectual property bills, meaning they can now go to the Senate floor to be voted on. Among those are a version of the bill that would let the FBI file civil suits against file sharers. That's right, basically the FBI would be signed up to handle the private complaints of the entertainment industry. One of the other bills looks to be a copy of a Californ ia bill that bans video cameras inside movie theaters - meaning you could potentially get arrested and thrown in jail for using the video camera on your mobile phone just while standing in a movie theater.

NEW YORK - P-to-P (peer-to-peer) file-trading enthusiasts like to rant about the draconian steps taken by groups like the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to enforce laws protecting their intellectual property rights, by shutting down distribution systems like the original Napster. But can those enthusiasts be organized into an influential grassroots organizing force?
