Excellent- More about Radically Rethinking Copyright in the Arts: A Philosophical Approach
The author of this book challenges the philosophical basis of copyright in the arts, arguing that current laws restrict creativity and serve the interests of large corporations. He presents an account of the ontology of artworks and makes a moral argument for shorter copyright terms and the exclusion of corporations from copyright ownership. The book offers a sweeping reinterpretation of copyright that rests on sound ontological and moral foundations.

The author delves into the ontology of art, challenging the justifiability of current copyright laws. They identify two fundamental problems arising from these laws: the restriction of creativity and the prioritization of corporate interests over those of artists and the public. Against this backdrop, the author presents an account of the ontology of artworks, drawing insights from metaphysics to understand ownership in the arts.
The author then makes a moral argument advocating for shorter copyright terms and discouraging corporations from owning copyrights. The subsequent chapters explore topics such as the appropriation of artwork tokens, pattern types, and artistic elements, resulting in a comprehensive reinterpretation of copyright in the arts.
This book offers valuable insights to scholars and advanced students engaged in aesthetics, philosophy of art, metaphysics, philosophy of law, and intellectual property law. It provides a robust foundation for rethinking copyright in the arts, promoting a more equitable and inclusive approach to artistic expression.
