In many cases, rather than create an open forum for the exchange of ideas, the guilds used their rights to govern intellectual property law to establish monopolies that stifled new technologies that were perceived as a threat to the status quo. In most countries they were governed by Intellectual Property Law and History 1st edition statutes and administered by disparate institutions, and few controversies involved more than one of these fields. Until the middle of the 20th century, copyright, patent, trademark, and trade-secret law commonly were understood to be analogous but distinct.

On the assumption that intellectual property rights are actual rights, Stallman says that this claim does not live to the historical intentions behind these laws, which in the case of copyright served as a censorship system, and later on, a regulatory model for the printing press that may have benefited authors incidentally, but never interfered with the freedom of average readers.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • Stream-Ripping: Its Role in the UK Music Piracy Landscape Three Years On
    Stream-ripping: Its role in the UK music piracy landscape three years on September 2020 PRS for Music Foreword Stream-ripping: its role in the UK music piracy landscape three years on builds on research we published with the Intellectual Property Office three years ago. The initial research, Stream-ripping: How it works and its role in the UK music piracy landscape, came at a time when little work had been done to understand the size of problem posed by stream-ripping. The previous report allowed us to map the landscape of online music piracy and to gain insight into the functioning and the business model of stream-ripping services. We found evidence to support our assumption that stream-ripping was on course to become the dominant mode of online infringement. This second wave of research shows that our expectation is now the reality: stream-ripping services account for more than 80% of the top 50 music specific piracy sites. We can see that the services are becoming more sophisticated, offering better quality downloads, evolving their revenue streams, and becoming more adept at operating beneath the radar, with many using the popular content delivery network Cloudflare to obfuscate the location of their servers. But what we can also see is that concerted efforts by the industry do work: a reduction of more than 50% of BitTorrent sites can be attributed to increased geo-blocking and enforcement efforts over the past three years. Since this research was conducted, the world has changed beyond what anyone could have imagined. Amidst the massive societal changes, the almost global lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated the acculturation of digital services.

  • Digital Music Business Models
    School of Journalism and Mass Communications Faculty of Economic and Political Sciences Digital Music Business Models BY Esra Poryalı A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF DIGITAL MEDIA, COMMUNICATION AND JOURNALISM Specialization: Digital Media, Communication, Culture Supervisor: Prof. George Tsourvakas Prof. George Kalliris Prof. Andreas Veglis May 2019 Abstract The Internet and modern-day technologies have changed the way people connect with the world around them. The music industry is one of the areas that is undoubtedly affected by the Internet. Music technologies have faced a drastic reorganization process due to the digital revolution that changed the way people consume, source, listen, purchase, discover, experience, produce, read and learn music. These technological advancements have induced great changes for artists, listeners, and producers. This study will attempt to investigate the business models of digital music that can be profitable in the future. As previous studies suggest (Arditi, 2017), with the introduction of the technological revolution the whole revenue mechanism has shifted. This study attempts to give insight into the changing revenue mechanism of how musicians, record labels, make money from digital music by analyzing the digital music business models from the perspective of the consumer, the record labels and the artists. The fundamental questions this study attempts to address are a) how technology has changed by presenting an overview of the music industry, b) what kind of digital music business models exist by analyzing their effects from the perspective of the listeners, artists and record labels, and c) what happens if the business model does not meet the demand of the users by explaining the ‘piracy’ phenomenon.

Sobel, Ph.D. Professor of Economics and Entrepreneurship Baker School of Business The Citadel ENTR 301 Outline Level Section IV: Principled Entrepreneurship, Crony Capitalism, and Unproductive Entrepreneurship • Part 10: Legal Plunder, Crony Capitalism, and Unproductive Entrepreneurship What is ‘Coercion’? Voluntary exchanges and actions make both parties better off, and are socially productive. Coercive actions do not….they violate human rights, and make at least one party worse off. But what is the definition? • An action is coercive if the other party is willing to devote resources to making you worse off if you don’t comply. Bastiat’s The Law Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) Bastiat: Production vs. Plunder “Man can only derive life and enjoyment from a perpetual search and appropriation; that is, from a perpetual application of his faculties to objects, or from labor. This is the origin of property. But also he may live and enjoy, by seizing and appropriating the productions of the faculties of his fellow men. This is the origin of plunder.” “Now, labor being in itself a pain, and man being naturally inclined to avoid pain, it follows, and history proves it, that wherever plunder is less burdensome than labor, it prevails; and neither religion nor morality can, in this case, prevent it from prevailing. When does plunder cease, then? When it becomes more burdensome and more dangerous than labor.” His argument… step 1 So in Bastiat’s view: Individuals trying to better their own situations will either produce or plunder to get ahead depending on whichever gives the ‘highest rate of return’ (benefit relative to cost) Bastiat: Rights & The Role of Government “If every man has the right of defending, even by force, his person, his liberty, and his property, a number of men have the right to combine together to extend, to organize a common force to provide regularly for this defense.

  • 3 Rent Seeking
    3 Rent seeking The theory of rent seeking Up to this point, Tullock’s contribution to public choice has only been lightly touched upon. However, he is clearly one of the leading public choice theorists. In addition to his early work with Buchanan, he is probably best known for his seminal insights into the theory of rent seeking. Indeed, rent seeking is perhaps one of the foremost advances in modern economics. In his most recent work on the subject, Tullock defines rent seeking as “the manipulation of de- mocratic [or other types of] governments to obtain special privileges under circumstances where the people injured by the privileges are hurt more than the beneficiary gains” (Tullock 1993, p. 24, cf. p. 51). Rent seeking is a natural outcome of the political process, especially in democratic nations. Special interest groups seek political favors and politicians seek re-election primarily (although cash seek- ing does play some smaller role) (Tullock 1993, p. 31). As Boettke notes, “The problem, as Mancur Olson ar- gued in his Rise and Decline of Nations, is that as political stability occurs, entrenched interests form which, eventu- ally, through their rent-seeking activity, retard the further economic development of a country” (Boettke 1992, p. 71). 42 Then as the condition of demosclerosis becomes more per- vasive and critical, rent seeking develops into part of the normal course of business. Firms begin to see various taxes, both explicit and implicit (i.e., via regulation, liabil- ity rulings, takings, inflation, etc.) as normal expenses, along with the increased expense of hiring professionals to minimize these taxes.
