I will answer the question "What's in a copy?" by considering three sets of related issues: the importance of copies in academia; in cultural life; and in the economic world. In academia the current capability of making copies is challenging pedagogical practices and the trust of its members, plagiarism being the most immediate problem. The notion of authorship is also undergoing changes provoked by a proliferation of authors and new possibilities opened up by cyberspace. In cultural life, imitation and mimesis have long been fundamental engines of socialization. Our enhanced capacity of copying problematizes, with new intensity, the relationships between homogeneity and heterogeneity, between the genuine and the spurious. In the economic world, the digital era is threatening some of the fundamental tenets of capitalism, especially of its variant called the "knowledge society", regarding the control of intellectual property rights. The gap between normativity and social practices is widening. The many dilemmas and tensions identified in the text are understood as symptoms of two major characteristics of the current times: hyperfetishism and hyperanimism.

Issues related to intellectual property rights in the Web 2.0 environment are rarely discussed. This chapter investigates the issues surrounding copyright in the digital era, which the market is increasingly using social media. The chapter describes the legal risks confronting people on using content in the digital era and examines the issues in this area. Valuable discussion will be generated for all users of digital content. The chapter investigates copyrights in the digital era through a case study, gathering data through interviews conducted in the UK. Research findings show lack of knowledge and instruction in the use of digital content and information produced through social media is the main reason for emerging conflict in this area. Knowledge about IPRs, and specifically copyrights in e-learning, needs to be provided for people. One of the issues that must be addressed by the use of Web 2.0 to learners is a full explanation of copyright laws. This will prevent content generated in this environment from infringing copyright.

What is the impact of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection on foreign direct investment (FDI)? Has the coming into effect of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) had any impact on FDI inflows in developing countries? This paper answers these questions by the use of panel data for a cross – section of 75 developing countries over a period of 19 years (1985 – 2003). The results of the study indicate that: 1) strengthening IPR has a positive effect on FDI; 2) the impact of patent protection on FDI after the TRIPS agreement is far and above that of the pre – TRIPS era; 3) the degree of openness, growth rate of the economy and investment are also key determinants of FDI. The findings of the study suggest that strengthening IPR is only one component of the many factors needed to maximize the potential of developing countries to attract FDI.

 Inside the panorama of the music industry have been generated by several legal relationships. Generally, the artist is only concerned with expressing his ideas through songs, based on deep feelings or experiences that have marked him, but he does not realize that he is in a very complicated legal relationship when privatizing his creations. Many artists throughout their careers legal issues related to the use of copyrights in their discography; a very recent case is that of the famous artist Taylor Swift where the problem lies in the snatching of their copyright author. This miscellaneous article focuses on identifying the regulations with which the Ecuadorian government protects intellectual property rights in the Ecuadorian music industry in the current digital era. As a final result, we state that Ecuadorian legislation has an optimal regulation that encourages the operation of the intellectual property regime in Ecuador. However, artists do not choose to enter this industry due to the low performance it has in our country.

Elegant Solution

The chapter explains why, properly used, intellectual property rights (IPR) are an elegant solution to the real problems of the inappropriability and indivisibility of innovation. Under free market conditions, these factors lead to a situation in which it is just not worth it to innovate, since even if successful, the innovator will not be able to enjoy high enough profits to recoup the initial investment. The theory behind IPR is that by granting them we can diminish the problems of inappropriability and indivisibility, and thus stimulate innovation. However, the positive welfare outcomes of innovation happen only when it is widely diffused and produces a lot of spillovers, which by definition do not generate profits. Accordingly, solutions that give too strong and full property rights risk slowing down innovation. As such, those solutions can become a cure that is worse than the disease. Sadly, we have come to a point where our patent, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets systems favor the incumbent and the rich and stifle innovation. For locales, existing IPR act as a punitive restriction on their companies and entrepreneurs’ freedom to operate. Accordingly, communities that wish to enjoy sustained innovation-based growth must game the system to protect their innovators’ freedom to operate. The chapter concludes with a few promising venues by which communities can transform weaknesses into strength. These examples aim to highlight the many ways to go forward even under the current conditions of a broken and dysfunctional global IPR system.

The Right

As one of the basic human rights, the right to participate in the cultural life of community is intertwined with the number of human rights. When we analyze both the norms of international law and domestic norms, we see this feature of the law. Thus, in the norms of international law, creative freedom and intellectual property rights are considered together with the right to participate in cultural life. Although the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan specifies the rights mentioned separately, the content of these norms connects these rights. Thus, both literary and artistic, as well as scientific and technical activities, which are part of creative freedom, are considered participation in cultural life. The implementation of these two activities creates intellectual property rights. Key words: human rights, intellectual property rights, cultural rights, right to participate in cultural life of community, information right, cultural right

In the life of the state there are various norms that regulate life so that there is balance and order in life. When one of the norms is not properly implemented, there will be potential undesirable things to happen, and the wheel of life will stagnate.There are several written and unwritten norms. One of the written norms is legal norms. Even though the law is a standard rule and must be followed, many parties still view the law as something that can be bought with money and power. This includes the law concerning the regulation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), which is currently increasingly being considered by the public. Because of the many claims and the increasing difficulty of the judicial process to follow up the claim if it does not have a strong law.Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are included in the right to intangible objects (such as patents, brands, and copyrights). Intellectual Property Rights are tangible, in the form of information, science, technology, art, literature, skills and so on which do not have a certain form.Keywords: Haki and Intellectual.
