If I, an economist and IP lawyer of about 25 years of doing a bit of copyright here and there, don't understand what is being said then how can anybody else? The IPKat's readers come from a wide range of backgrounds and are not all economists or copyright lawyers with long experience. I am not sure that I accept that the language is standard for readers of the IPKat's website and I have certainly never heard it used in all of the economic literature on the subject I have read; I do not doubt you, it is just that that means of expression has never come my way. Couldn't somebody have interpreted? You can (and have done) when you write economic articles, so I know that it is possible and that the will is there. It is helpful. This is a plea for clearer prose.<br /><br />AshleyAshley Roughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867564640201688641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-68852278330585842912017-06-15T14:08:45.895+01:002017-06-15T14:08:45.895+01:00"Without intervention the creation and exploi..."Without intervention the creation and exploitation are insufficiently excludable" is fairly standard way of saying that copyright represents an intervention in the market to create excludability. Plus the whole incentives-to-innovate theory etc. Ashley - I'm not sure your interpretation is saying the same thing.<br /><br />Nicola Searlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582267523535551739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-57234481998368619832017-06-15T14:02:56.477+01:002017-06-15T14:02:56.477+01:00Speaking about Prof Morten Hviid's point, I se...Speaking about Prof Morten Hviid's point, I see the traditional record companies as being a lot like traditional publishing companies and even traditional legal publishers: they provide a lot of help that the artist or author find difficult to do themselves. technical help in audio production, editing help in publishing.<br /><br />I notice some more modern publishers are concentrating on that, and outsourcing or mechanizing producing physical records and booksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930520917352746721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-84672309311849584082017-06-15T13:30:57.115+01:002017-06-15T13:30:57.115+01:00The copyright system is a disaster.

One only has to look at Disney to see how badly they have done by reason of the law of copyright.<br /><br />Also what does "that without intervention the creation and exploitation are insufficiently excludable" mean? Somebody seems to be suffering from economania (a propensity to describe simple propositions in the most opaque of ways - I am allowed to say this, I am an economist). Why not say that "without a way of enabling people to profit from creating works by means of a law of copyright then those works which they would create are not created. There are no sufficient reasons for this."<br /><br />Ashley PAshley Roughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867564640201688641noreply@blogger.com
