Excellent- More about Against Progress: Intellectual Property and Fundamental Values in the Internet Age

When the Constitution was first drafted, intellectual property was intended to promote the advancement of science and the useful arts by granting rights to authors and inventors. However, in today's rapidly changing technological landscape, accompanied by growing wealth inequality and political and social divisions, the constitutional goal of progress may shift towards more basic human values, redirecting the emphasis of intellectual property away from private interests and towards the common good.
Against Progress delves into contemporary discussions surrounding intellectual property law, examining how it intersects with fundamental values such as equality, privacy, and distributive justice, which are increasingly challenged in the digital age. Through a legal analysis of various intellectual property court cases, author Jessica Silbey explores the experiences of everyday creators and innovators navigating ownership, sharing, and sustainability within the internet ecosystem and the current intellectual property laws.
Crucially, the book aims to redefine the concept of progress and the role of intellectual property in light of the urgent need for art and science to contribute to social justice in our time. It raises important questions about the balance between intellectual property rights and the public interest, the impact of technology on creativity and innovation, and the responsibilities of individuals and institutions in fostering a more equitable and sustainable intellectual property system.
