The Law and Economics of Intellectual Property in the Digital Age: The Limits of Analysis




The Law and Economics of Intellectual Property in the Digital Age: The Limits of Analysis by Niva Elkin-Koren and Eli Salzberger


English | 2012 | ISBN: 0415499089 | 304 pages | PDF | 1 MB




This book explores the economic analysis of intellectual property law, with a special emphasis on the Law and Economics of informational goods in light of the past decade’s technological revolution. In recent years there has been massive growth in the Law and Economics literature focusing on intellectual property, on both normative and positive levels of analysis. The economic approach to intellectual property is often described as a monolithic, coherent approach that may differ only as it is applied to a particular case. Yet the growing literature of Law and Economics in intellectual property does not speak in one voice. The economic discourse used in legal scholarship and in policy-making encompasses several strands, each reflecting a fundamentally different approach to the economics of informational works, and each grounded in a different ideology or methodological paradigm.




This book delineates the various economic approaches taken and analyzes their tenets. It maps the fundamental concepts and the theoretical foundation of current economic analysis of intellectual property law, in order to fully understand the ramifications of using economic analysis of law in policy making. In so doing, one begins to appreciate the limitations of the current frameworks in confronting the challenges of the information revolution. The book addresses the fundamental adjustments in the methodology and underlying assumptions that must be employed in order for the economic approach to remain a useful analytical framework for addressing IPR in the information age.

The Global Political Economy of Intellectual Property Rights: The New Enclosures? (RIPE Series in Global Political Economy)




The Global Political Economy of Intellectual Property Rights: The New Enclosures? (RIPE Series in Global Political Economy) by Christopher May


English | Aug. 9, 2000 | ISBN: 0415229049 | 216 Pages | PDF | 1003.85 KB




It has become a commonplace that there has been an information revolution, transforming both society and the economy. In 1995 the Trade Related Intellectual Property (TRIPs) agreement aimed to harmonise protection for property in knowledge throughout the global system. This book considers the contemporary disputes about the ownership of knowledge resources – as in the cases of genetically modified foods, the music industry or the internet – and the problematic nature of the TRIPs agreement. In this highly topical book, Christopher May reveals that, because of such problems, at present the balance in intellectual property rights between public good and private reward is more often than not weighted towards the latter.

Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Tradition, 3rd Edition


Audio CDs in MP3 / English: MP3, 32 kb/s (1 ch) | Duration: 41:56:40 | ISBN-10: 1565853547 | 2000 | + PDF Guides | 685 MB

Genre: History, Cultures






For 3,000 years, mankind has grappled with fundamental questions about life. What is real? Who or what is God? When is it legitimate for one person to have power over others? What is justice? Beauty? This 84-lecture, 12-professor tour of Western philosophical tradition covers more than 60 of history"s greatest minds and brings you a comprehensive survey of the history of Western philosophy from its origins in classical Greece to the present. It took 3,000 years for the debate chronicled in these lectures to reach maturity.




With this series of lectures, you can encompass it by the end of next month. You"ll travel chronologically through the history of the Western world, charting the intriguing development of Western philosophy and drawing fascinating connections between thinkers separated by the gulf of time and space. You"ll acquaint yourself with the Greek Pre-Socratics (the world"s first scientific thinkers) and examine in detail the insights of three towering figures: Socrates, his student Plato, and Plato"s student, Aristotle.




You"ll examine the contributions to philosophy from biblical traditions and the great minds of the Christian age. Then, you"ll mark the critical schism that developed between the claims of faith and those of science and participate in the breathless discovery found during the Enlightenment, which reveled in the new freedom of human potential and scientific expansion. You"ll study the provocative philosophical responses (by the Existentialists and others) to the challenges raised by the new scientific consciousness. And you"ll conclude with an overview of the work of Derrida and other late 20th-century philosophers and theorists.




The full list of lecturers includes Professors Alan Charles Kors, Darren Staloff, Dennis Dalton, Douglas Kellner, Jeremy Adams, Jeremy Shearmur, Kathleen M. Higgins, Louis Markos, Mark Risjord, Phillip Cary, Robert C. Solomon, and Robert H. Kane.
