IP Protection and Economic Propersity

March 18th, 2008 by Marion

As an out of the closet nerd, I actively seek out opportunities to be with my fellow nerds. So then, I attended the panel discussion “The New Economics of Selling Digital Media Online: How IP Protection Fosters Economic Prosperity” at McInnes Town Hall, University of Toronto. Great panel including Olivier Bomsel, Professor from Paris’ Centre for Industrial Economics, Duncan McKie,President, Canadian Independent Record Production Association and Debora Spar, Senior Associate Dean, Harvard. My personal favourite was Debora Spar who is a very compelling speaker and the author of “Ruling the Waves: Cycles of Discovery, Chaos and Wealth from the Compass to the Internet.” I picked up the book and it is great! Very recommended!
