Over the past decade, the scope of copyright and patent law has grown significantly, strengthening property rights, even when such rights seem to infringe upon other, more basic, priorities. This book investigates the ways in which activists, scholars, and communities are resisting the expansion of copyright and patent law in the information age.Debora J. Halbert explores how an alternative framework for understanding intellectual property including about how we ought to think about the issues, the development of social movements around specific issues, and civil disobedience has developed. Each chapter in the book discusses how resistance is developing in relation to a particular copyright or patent issue such as: access to patented medication access to copyrighted information and music via the Internet the patenting of genetic material.This controversial book examines the ways in which the idea of intellectual property is being rethought by the victims of an overexpansive legal system. It will appeal to students and researchers from a range of disciplines, from law and political science to computer science, with an interest in intellectual property.
