Transcript of The Knowledge Economy Trap Professor Jonathan Taplin Director,
What does America make?
“We can’t make a toaster anymore, a DVD player or even a decent faucet, but we can create desire. We can make fetching footwear, beautiful games, hot TV, great rock and roll records and dazzling movies. Such artifacts constitute our principal contribution to global commerce.”-Dave Hickey
The IP Economy
Movies and Television Music On Line Video Video Games Computer Software E-books Pharmaceutical Patents Fashion Trademarks
Piracy and Legislation
SOPA was a bad law. Entertainment & Technology do not
have to be at loggerheads. Google & Baidu could take voluntary
measures right now that would help.
What Big Search could do
We won’t sell ads on pirate websites We won’t have our search engine link to
pirate websites that can’t prove they have legitimate licenses to the content they host
We will stop pretending we can’t control what gets posted on You Tube.
