About this book

Abraham Drassinower presents a new way to balance the needs of creators and users of authored works. Disentangling copyright theory from its focus on the economic value of a work as a commodity, he views a work instead as a communicative act. Infringement, according to this perspective, is an unauthorized appropriation of another’s speech.

Reviews

This book is the first in two decades to take a really fresh and illuminating methodological look at an intellectual-property topic.

The most original and provocative philosophical treatment of copyright law in decades, if not centuries.
