Why the public domain is vitally important and what we must do to protect it
In this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age―today’s heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today’s policies are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation.
Boyle identifies as a major problem the widespread failure to understand the importance of the public domain―the realm of material that everyone is free to use and share without permission or fee. The public domain is as vital to innovation and culture as the realm of material protected by intellectual property rights, he asserts, and he calls for a movement akin to the environmental movement to preserve it. With a clear analysis of issues ranging from Jefferson’s philosophy of innovation to musical sampling, synthetic biology and Internet file sharing, this timely book brings a positive new perspective to important cultural and legal debates. If we continue to enclose the “commons of the mind,” Boyle argues, we will all be the poorer.

Etat : Good. : En este libro esclarecedor, James Boyle describe lo que él llama las guerras de rango de la era de la información: las acaloradas batallas actuales sobre la propiedad intelectual. Boyle argumenta que, así como todo ciudadano informado necesita saber al menos algo sobre el medio ambiente o los derechos civiles, todo ciudadano también debe comprender la ley de propiedad intelectual. ¿Por qué? Porque los derechos de propiedad intelectual marcan las reglas básicas de la sociedad de la información, y las políticas actuales son desequilibradas, no están respaldadas por evidencia y, a menudo, son perjudiciales para el acceso cultural, la libertad de expresión, la creatividad digital y la innovación científica.Boyle identifica como un problema importante el fracaso generalizado en la comprensión de la importancia del dominio público: el ámbito del material que todos pueden usar y compartir libremente sin permiso ni tarifa. El dominio público es tan vital para la innovación y la cultura como el ámbito del material protegido por los derechos de propiedad intelectual, afirma, y ??pide un movimiento similar al movimiento ambiental para preservarlo. Con un análisis claro de temas que van desde la filosofía de la innovación de Jefferson hasta el muestreo musical, la biología sintética y el intercambio de archivos en Internet, este libro oportuno aporta una nueva perspectiva positiva a importantes debates culturales y legales. Si continuamos encerrando los "bienes comunes de la mente", Boyle argumenta, todos seremos más pobres.
