We need to
agree on a few terms, I think, or this isn't going to work...
- Intellectual property
- Applies the notion of property (i.e. ownership) to something intangible. Generally applied to a work - i.e. something non-trivial.
- Copyright
- The right to determine how a piece of intellectual property can be copied.
Is a
painting or other
physical art piece
intellectual property? People pay a lot of money for an
original Picasso but
peanuts for
prints.
Is a concert performance intellectual property? It's quite a physical experience - but it's transitory and cannot be reproduced.
I'll add more later...
