schestowitzWith the exception of the Boldrin and Levine 2008 book, which does take a more radical approach to the IP system (e.g. examines the case for the cancellation of the IP system), most economists are arguing for refinements and reforms to the system. These typically are arguments for a reduction in the 'footprint' of IP. I would be interested to know what economics/economists are arguing for the total destruction - could you point me to some?Nov 20 15:48
schestowitzOn your third point - it's something I've been reflecting on. IP Economics has largely focused on policy in recent years, and perhaps we should be looking more towards practice. Nov 20 15:48

schestowitzPerhaps I've not conveyed this, but I really, really like IP. As do my colleagues. We are - generalising - big fans of the incentive-to-innovate argument, and we want it to work. It's a very important part of the economy, and it needs to be regularly interrogated.Nov 20 15:48
schestowitzAs to your other points, I rely on legal expertise to inform by understanding of cases/claims etc and I'm aware that lawyers also criticise these cases/efforts. Nov 20 15:48
schestowitzIt will be interesting to see how the parody defence plays out. And yes, you're right in that orphan works has not been used as much as expected - but it has not become the disaster predicted by some copyright holders. Nov 20 15:48

schestowitzI'm stunned to see these ill-conceived ideas, which are completely supported by nothing but a prejudice that IPRs are inherently BAD, being presented as the economic truth. Nov 20 15:49

schestowitzDr Searle writes: "Dubious but successful copyright claims": either a claim is founded and so is not dubious or a claim is not founded and then who's wrong is the court that agreed with the right-holder. Nov 20 15:49
schestowitzThen she goes on and claims that right-holders have made "questionable efforts" to protect their IP: clearly, she's not one of those people whose very livelihood relies on their creativity. Nov 20 15:49
schestowitzFinally, she reassures us that not everything (thank goodness!) is lost, as there have been important changes being made to the rotten IP system, e.g. parody and orphan works. I would just like to point out the obvious: the parody defence has not even been tested in court yet (so, was it a problem not to have it in the law? I think not); and the orphan works scheme has been used in total fewer times than those we've heard *questionable* Nov 20 15:49

schestowitz"I inwardly groan at the mention of "evidence-based policy". Government has long used evidence-based policy, but practice has been to put the cart before the horse by deciding policy first and then getting civil servants to produce evidence to support the policy, ignoring evidence to the contrary. A module of a senior management course at the Civil Service College used to use genuine official data to illustrate the point. "Nov 20 15:50

schestowitzI can give you my perspective (Argentinean lawyer).Nov 20 15:50
schestowitz1. Unfortunately, IP Economics is a branch of economics. And economics does not have such a great reputation right now. Economic advice, justly or unjustly, have led to the road that we are now traversing and the rise of Trump, Brexit or the protests in Chile can be partially explained as a reaction to this advise (if Chile, which is sort of a success, is currently protesting against their economic policies imagine how do the people of Nov 20 15:50
schestowitzArgentina, which is sort of a failure, feel).Nov 20 15:50
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Economics and IP: the good, the bad and the ugly (and a request for reader feedback)? - The IPKatNov 20 15:50
schestowitz2. I have some experience with lobbyist groups in Argentina. While I happen to agree with IP Economics it has been my experience that people who advocate for policies that apply IP Economics are the same that usually advocate for the total destruction of the IP System. Therefore, you won't find it strange, that Right Owners view with suspicion and reject, their advice. Nov 20 15:50
schestowitz3. I believe IP Economics is a valuable tool for Policy Makers and, in certain few cases, for litigators. But economics are for the long rung and have very practical uses for the IP practitioners, who has to work daily within a legal framework. Nov 20 15:50

schestowitzHi,Nov 20 18:11
schestowitzI see a large set of C++ errors in there, so it's probably a software bug at their end (GoToAssist).  I wonder if they still support Vista (released about 13 years ago and EoL around half a decade back).Nov 20 18:11
schestowitzI am guessing we can now at least guess why the connection wasn't possible to establish. Is upgrading this machine or getting direct SSH access to the pertinent GNU/Linux servers a possibility? Nov 20 18:11
schestowitzI think that as part of their pricey subscription-type licence GoToAssist offers support for such technical glitches. At the moment we always need to hop from GNU/Linux to one Windows back, then to another (Vista), then to other GNU/Linux boxes -- a chain of 34 layers including one unsupported version of Windows. I think it increases complexity (and price) without increasing security.Nov 20 18:11

schestowitz"That's an interesting response. I never said he was. All I'm pointing out is the Trump has not claimed any new powers, he is using the power structure that was left to him by his predecessor. Fascist states usually start off by seizing new powers that they previously did not have. This administration has demonstrably not done that. Nothing that is going on today in the US meets the dialectical usage of the word fascism. The left is using Nov 20 18:29
