This talk will discuss the ways we limit the range of discussion of policy choices by invoking the term "intellectual property." It will argue that we should discard the phrase and instead focus our discussion on the specific legal areas. We should discuss copyright, patent, and trademark issues as matters of policy, not property.
Listen to the talk in RealAudio. (It is a bit quiet in the beginning and lasts approximately an hour and a half.)Siva Vaidhyanathan is currently an Assistant Professor, School of Library & Information Studies at University of Wisconsin at Madison.
