Jessica Silbey on The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property

By Jon Festinger on December 17, 2014

 

This is a wonderful talk given December 2, 2014 through the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Though not directly about video-game creators it is an empirically driven look at how creators understand and implement intellectual property law and strategies. It illustrates many of the issues discussed in the course, particularly the misalignments between creative values (+ value) and intellectual property law as it currently functions. Look out in the 31st minute for a cameo appearance by “moral rights” as a useful mechanism.

Enjoy.

    Excellent talk! I finally had a chance to sit through the entire lecture. It is great to see this type of scientific methodology applied to legal research. Here is a relevant follow up talk from the same professor:
