| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which property rights are recognized-and the corresponding fields of law. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets in some jurisdictions. This book studies social activism supporting intellectual property reforms including anti-copyright, free software movement, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Steal This Film, and Good Copy Bad Copy. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
