Technological and other developments create a demand for intellectual property protection, though as we have seen not all such demands will be met (ask Hughie Green). Throughout this book, you will encounter this theme time and time again. Most recently, our notions about intellectual property are being challenged by the growth of the Internet. Copyright in particular is put in need of reform, and various proposals have been put forward, including a 1995 European Commission Green Paper, mentioned further below in the copyright chapter. The following paper by retired cattle rancher, ex-Grateful Dead lyricist and now Internet guru John Perry Barlow calls into question many of our assumptions about intellectual property:

John Perry Barlow starts the dialogue explaining the reasons that led him to draw up and disclose his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace, in Davos. He then discusses why he believes that people who use the term ‘intellectual property’ have got the wrong idea about it, and puts forward his ideas about frontiers in general and in particular the electronic frontier. He deliberates on whether the Economy of Ideas is capitalist, socialist or Marxist, and whether it should be supervised by someone or not. He also explains why cyberspace has still not been dominated by any world power, and explores the contradiction of why the differences between the rich and the poor have increased considerably since the onset of the global Internet revolution, what the cause of this is, and what has happened to all the hopes placed in the Internet by the underprivileged. Finally, he talks about how the structure of local cultures in cyberspace and their relationship with the global culture of the Internet is evolving.

Abstract— The continued advancement of the “One Belt, One Road” strategy, coupling with the rapid development of the Internet, has provided a convenient online platform for cross-border e-commerce enterprises. China’s cross-border e-commerce enterprises have made unprecedented progress. However, at the same time, the problem of intellectual property infringement in cross-border e-commerce has become increasingly prominent, seriously restricting the development of China’s cross-border e-commerce enterprises. On the basis of analyzing the intellectual property strategy of enterprises. This paper describes the necessity of creating an intellectual property strategy for cross-border e-commerce enterprises, and proposes strategies for building relevant intellectual property strategies aimed at the weak awareness of intellectual property and the copycatting of enterprise products, which are common in the operation of cross-border e-commerce enterprises in China.

The Internet software market is characterized by strong network effects andomnipresent intellectual property rights. In this paper, we attempt toexplore the relationship between the two, focusing on two examples: thegovernment's antitrust proceeding against Microsoft for browser tying, andSun's suit against Microsoft for altering Java. We conclude that the socialvalue of the Internet lies in its ability to facilitate interoperation, andthis in turn argues in favor of open access to network standards. Such openstandards may be achieved in the open market. Where they are not, the lawmay intervene, but it must be cautious not to overreach and to avoiddisturbing the incentives provided by intellectual property protection.
