Wired 12.06: The Free & The Unfree
Trecho: This clash of cultures demonstrates how intellectual property, a phrase with a tidy and proper ring, is actually a messy business. The core concept is deceptively rational: Creators of an idea deserve protection for a set period of time so that they may gainfully exploit their work. Such protections, whether through copyright or patents, have enabled great innovation; we wouldn't have antibiotics or Apple or Avril Lavigne if the brains behind them weren't allowed to capitalize on their successes. But it's not easy to tell at what point protecting yesterday's innovation is holding back tomorrow's. When does market protection become a monopoly? Who's to say when a discovery's social benefit outweighs an individual's reward? When is sharing stealing? These aren't idle questions. Affordable health care, digital piracy, genetically modified food - all come down to disputes over the limits and rewards of IP.
