Genesis of Intellectual Capital As Property
,----[ Quote ]
| The rhetoric about "piracy" gave the U.S. a
| justification for interference. The generalisation from
| individual pirates to entire states occurred with the
| identification of "problem" countries like India.
| Finally, in a feat which defies all forms of logic,
| large Multinational Corporations were the victims. Note
| here how the whole concept of Intellectual Property has
| come a full circle -- from the initial notion of the
| protection of an individual's rights and the notion of
| disclosure of information, IPRs now mean protection of
| the rights of corporations and a bar on the free flow of
| information.

,----[ Quote ]
| BUSINESS GROUPS: THE MICROSOFT executive who runs the software
| companyâs business outside of the US and Canada is the latest
| high-profile business leader to come out in favour of passing the
| Lisbon Treaty.
|
| Jean-Philippe Courtois, president of Microsoft International, said
| it was âvery importantâ not just for Ireland but for Europe as a
| whole that the treaty is ratified.
|
| âWe have a shift of power between China, Brazil, the Indias of the
| world and the US,â said Mr Courtois. âEurope needs to step up both
| economically speaking and politically speaking. That treaty has to
| be clearly embodied and move on with all the citizens in Europe.â
