"This volume expands our understanding of organic systems of protection designed to preserve incentives for innovation in IP's negative spaces. It will...undoubtedly provoke much debate, stimulate new research, and give rise to some interesting future conferences."-Journal of Economic Literature "Understanding how and why people create is central to the project of IP. This important new book catalogs the many ways in which people create without the benefit of IP law. One can find theories of copyright and creativity elsewhere. Here you will find real-world evidence of how people are creating without, and even despite, IP law."-Mark A. Lemley,William H. Neukom Professor, Stanford Law School "For years, physicists insisted bumble bees couldn't fly. And yet, the laws of physics notwithstanding, bumblebees flew. Likewise, for years, IP lawyers have insisted that without strong IP protection, creativity cannot flourish. IP lawyers: meet the bumblebee. In this beautifully written and powerfully structured collection, the best of IP's scholars show that actual complexity of creativity, and its inspiration."-Lawrence Lessig,Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership, Harvard Law School "This important collection of case studies adds significantly to the emerging body of empirical evidence that challenges IP's orthodoxy. Creativity and innovation do not necessarily depend on copyrights and patents. The book documents the fact that community self-governance can produce and sustain creative production across a broad range of subject matter. Eclecticism powers the book. The fascinating, provocative, and entertaining cases here range from more traditional IP-focused creative domains like film and fiction to creative fields operating beyond IP, like cuisine and medical practice, to outsider creative groups that have rejected IP, like tattoo artists and roller derby participants."-Michael Madison,Professor of Law, University of Pittsburgh
Behind the scenes of the many artists and innovators flourishing beyond the bounds of intellectual property laws Intellectual property law, or IP law, is based on certain assumptions about creative behavior. The case for regulation assumes that creators have a fundamental legal right to prevent copying, and without this right they will under-invest in new work. But this premise fails to fully capture the reality of creative production. It ignores the range of powerful non-economic motivations that compel creativity, and it overlooks the capacity of creative industries for self-governance and innovative social and market responses to appropriation.
This book reveals the on-the-ground practices of a range of creators and innovators. In doing so, it challenges intellectual property orthodoxy by showing that incentives for creative production often exist in the absence of, or in disregard for, formal legal protections. Instead, these communities rely on evolving social norms and market responses—sensitive to their particular cultural, competitive, and technological circumstances—to ensure creative incentives. From tattoo artists to medical researchers, Nigerian filmmakers to roller derby players, the communities illustrated in this book demonstrate that creativity can thrive without legal incentives, and perhaps more strikingly, that some creative communities prefer, and thrive, in environments defined by self-regulation rather than legal rules.
Beyond their value as descriptions of specific industries and communities, the accounts collected here help to ground debates over IP policy in the empirical realities of the creative process. Their parallels and divergences also highlight the value of rules that are sensitive to the unique mix of conditions and motivations of particular industries and communities, rather than the monoculture of uniform regulation of the current IP system.
