James Boyle is professor of law and co-founder of the Centre for
the Study of the Public Domain at Duke University and author of
The Public Domain: enclosing the commons of the mind.
In his new book The Public Domain, Professor James Boyle
describes how our culture, science and economic welfare all
depend on the delicate balance between those ideas that are
controlled and those that are free, between intellectual property
and the public domain —the realm of material that everyone is
free to use and share without permission or fee
Intellectual property laws have a significant impact on many
important areas of human endeavour, including scientific
innovation, digital creativity, cultural access and free speech.
And so Boyle argues that, just as every informed citizen needs to
know at least something about the environment or civil rights,
every citizen in the information age should also have an
understanding of intellectual property law.
Is the public domain as vital to knowledge, innovation and
culture as the realm of material protected by intellectual
property rights? James Boyle thinks so and visits the RSA to call
for a new movement to preserve it. If we continue to enclose the
“commons of the mind”, Boyle argues, we will all be the poorer.
