Concluding Thoughts

Michael Perelman

A chapter in Steal This Idea, 2002, pp 209-211 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I have intended this book to raise questions rather than answer them. Toward this end, I have addressed a multitude of problems associated with intellectual property. In the process, I hope to have shown that the current regime of excessively strong intellectual property rights represents a confiscation of creativity, which undermines science, corrodes the university environment, and creates an explosion of litigation. Given the present climate, in which holders of intellectual property have undue influence over the political process, the situation can only become worse without strong countermeasures.
