  Copyright's Arc

  Martin Skladany

  In Copyright's Arc, Martin Skladany rejects a one-size-fits-all copyright regime. Within developed countries, copyright's incentives have spawned multinational corporations that create a plethora of slick, hyped entertainment options that encourage Americans to overconsume, whereas in developing countries, extreme copyright blocks the widespread distribution of entertainment, which impedes women's equality and human rights movements. Meanwhile, moderate copyright in middle-income countries helps foster artistic movements that forge inclusive national identities. Given these conditions, Skladany argues that copyright should vary between countries, following an arc across the development spectrum.

  Intellectual Property, Software, and Information Licensing: Law and Practice, Second Edition

  Xuan-Thao Nguyen, Robert W. Gomulkiewicz, and Danielle M. Conway

  License transactions play a leading role in the modern information economy. They provide a critical legal mechanism for both technological and business model innovation. They also underlie the creation, dissemination, and use of intellectual property and other intangible assets that give the information economy its name. There has been much attention paid to the creation and protection of information assets but less focus on the transactions (licenses) that bring them to the marketplace. This is one reason we decided that the time was ripe for a new book on this subject. This book is not the first to discuss license ... Read more

  Big Copyright Versus the People: How Major Content Providers are Destroying Creativity and How to Stop Them

  Martin Skladany

  When the idea of copyright was enshrined in the Constitution it was intended to induce citizens to create. Today, however, copyright has morphed into a system that offers the bulk of its protection to a select number of major corporate content providers (or Big Copyright), which has turned us from a country of creators into one of consumers who spend, on average, ten hours each day on entertainment. In this alarming but illuminating book, Martin Skladany examines our culture of overconsumption and shows not only how it leads to addiction, but also how it is unraveling important threads - of ...
