Intellectual Property and the Public Domain in the Age of Remix

IT developments have enabled inexpensive copying, production of cultural artifacts and software, distribution of these artifacts, and remixing. All of this has disrupted our notions of so called intellectual property. Topics include historical change in IP law, the importance of the public domain for cultural production, and alternatives to current IP regimes. Case discussion and a remix project are included. Prerequisite(s): MIS 5240 or its equivalent.
