Intellectual property rights and the Internet in Spain
Materials for an informed debate
Research report 1.0 - RFC (Request for Comments)
Abstract
The digitization of contents and their subsequent communication using the Internet has irreversibly transformed the parameters that governed the exercise of the intellectual property rights some years ago. These rights are the base of both cultural and knowledge industries, that is to say, the base of a substantial part of the production in the advanced economies. Thus, the debate about intellectual property rights' management is basic from an economic, media and political perspective in all societies.
Taking into consideration the Internet tradition, this report about Internet and Intellectual Property has been entitled as version 1.0, adding a RFC (Request for Comments). It is our aim to make an urgent call to collective effort to formulate a new space of free creation in the respect of a new legality
