An Experiment In Deconstructing Copyright – Part 3 – I.P.

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I was doing some reading last night, and realized that I missed the concept of Intellectual Property in my copyright brainstorm.

At this point in the exercise, it seems that copyright protects the results of intellectual property (intellectual/creative work?) which can be copied. So we’ll bump IP above copyright, and keep in mind some of the discussions about the right to copy being, obviously, applicable to copyable things. This, of course, becomes a bit of a challenge as more things become copyable… but I’ll get into that more after I categorize everything to create a starting point.
