Economic Activities and Change
– Internet and digital revolution
• Pigeons/smoke-signals to internet
– Diffusion of information within the society
• 70% of wealth accumulated in the rich economies is in the
form of intangible, knowledge based assets (Gelder, 2006)
– Access to information (Assets)
• Shift from the private corporations/State to Civil Society?
– Recrafting Global Trade Rules?
• Political Economy of TRIPS
IP Literature and Tradition Business
Models
• Weak foundations
– System independent of space and time
– Right holders’ limited-term monopoly and public
benefit of unhindered access to scientific records
and cultural traditions
• Ignores key ownership questions
• Shifting battlefield
– Digitization of copyrights
IP and Digital Environment
• Weak cross border regulations; liberal cross
border flows
• Authority inconsistent with global realities
• Rise of non market and non proprietary
means of production
• Incompatibility of IPRs and Digital economy
– Danny Quah’s characteristics
Digital Alternatives
• Open Business Models (Chesbrough , 2003)
– Recognize the value of ideas being generated
outside the boundaries of the firm
– Business-dependent value of IP is crucial for its
effective utilization
Piracy is Good
Lessig (2005)
• Creativity vs Creativity (new regimes challenge
the old)
– Amateur creativity as collateral damage
– Copyright wars criminalize creativity, drives piracy
underground become corrosive
• Brazil’s experience
• Deregulate and decriminalize
Apple’s iTunes
• P2P vs traditional music industry
• Apple’s way –iTunes
– Autonomy of choice
– Freedom from legal hassles
Conclusions
• Digital technologies serve as engines of
cultural innovation
• Technology is per se neutral
• Reconciling and adapting their interests for
both corporations and government will
determine the future of the digital era
