Семьдесят лет назад, четко и понятно:
The circularity of legal reasoning in the whole field of unfair competition is veiled by the "thingification" of property. Legal language portrays courts as examining commercial words and finding, somewhere inhering in them, property rights. It is by virtue of the property right which the plaintiff has acquired in the word that he is entitled to an injunction or an award of damages. According to the recognized authorities on the law of unfair competition, courts are not creating property, but are merely recognizing a preexistent Something.
<...>
<...> legal reasoning on the subject of trade names is simply economic prejudice masquerading in the cloak of legal logic. The prejudice that identifies the interests of the plaintiff in unfair competition cases with the interest of business and identifies the interests of business with the interests of society, will not be critically examined by courts and legal scholars until it is recognized and formulated. It will not be recognized or formulated so long as the hypostatization of "property rights" conceals the circularity of legal reasoning.

Tyler Cowen давеча рассказал дивную историю о том, как индийское правительство решило проблему точности прогнозов погоды, объявляемых государственной метеорологической конторой - просто запретило публикацию независимых прогнозов (http://www.marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2005/07/forecast_error.html). А сегодня он порадовал еще одной историей - как в старой Англии моряков немедленно вздергивали на рею за попытку независимого Снова о копирайте

Странно, что никто еще не предложил копирайт на шахматные идеи. Придумал гроссмейстер какую-нибудь ново-индийскую защиту и старо-пакистанское нападение - бегом копирайт оформлять. И все, никто не смей пользоваться, только он. Все медали - его. И наследникам, конечно, передавать. На пятьдесят лет.
