The rapid emergence of digital media has created both new economic
opportunities and new risks for authors, publishers, and users in
regards to intellectual property. There is a theoretical conflict
raging between those who believe "information should be free" and
those attempting to protect intellectual property through
surveillance and control of access. The Intellectual Commons works
to develop a theory of intellectual property that is based on a
theory of natural rights that assumes the existence of a "natural
world" of intellectual resources. Chett Mitchell develops a moral
framework that makes cooperation among the groups involved rather
than conflict central to understanding intellectual property
rights. Drawing on early modern theorists such as Grotius,
Pufendorf, and Locke as well as the intellectual theory of
copyright put forth by L. Ray Patterson, Mark Rose, and Michel
Foucault, Intellectual Commons presents a way to bring IP theory
and practice together. This book is an important addition to the
intellectual property debate and a must for law students,
communication theorists, and any person interested in the future of
digital media rights.
