Computer technology and the proliferation of digital networks have
radically altered how ideas and information are gathered and
manipulated and generated new conflicts between public use and
private rights. These conflicts raise serious problems: Are
abstract ideas and information proper subjects of ownership? What
role should privacy rights play? How does the violation of
intellectual property rights compare morally to the violation of
physical property rights? Now available in paperback, "Intellectual
Property and Information Control" provides answers and strategies
for dealing with these and other questions while mounting a
philosophical defense of rights to intellectual and intangible
property. As the book shows, a policy that allows too much access
may stymie innovation and cause individuals to isolate themselves.
At the other extreme, huge, multinational corporations may hold as
intangible property vast amounts of knowledge, including sensitive
personal information. Through discussions of patent law, fair use,
and practical problems such as privacy in the workplace, Moore
demonstrates that intellectual and intangible property rights exist
along with privacy rights. The latter will sometimes constrain what
can be done with the former.
