Koepsell on IP

My friend David Koepsell, an attorney and philosopher who serves on the Advisory Board of C4SIF, has written and spoken a good deal on patent and copyright. Below I collect some of his essential work in this regard:

• Innovation and Nanotechnology: Converging Technologies and the End of Intellectual Property (UK: Bloomsbury Academic, 2011 [pdf]), esp. chaps. 5-6 (posted here with permission of the author; also, the book is published under a CC-BY-NC license; here is Bloomsbury’s free online version)

• “The Ethical Case Against Intellectual Property” (slides; YouTube)
