Aos corajosos intelectuais da nossa praça. Um obrigado.

Aqui vos deixo um excerto simplesmente fabuloso que desencantei nas minhas pesquisas recentes. O autor é um professor de Berkeley - Robert P. Merges - e o excerto retirado da conslusão do seu livro "Justifying Intellectual Property":

"It takes courage to try to create something new, and even more courage to send it out into the world in hopes of a good reception. Any author, musician, songwriter, inventor, or designer can vouch for that. To me, IP rights represent an important token of respect and recognition for those souls brave enough to launch their creations out into the roiling sea in search of an audience or a market. These rights have a pratical side too, of course: without them these acts of bravery would often not add up financially. The prospect, or more often hope, of maybe making a living out of this helps the creative class going. IP gives them a reason to believe that some day, for some of them anyway, a real career could be made by doing what they are best at."

Para os mais curiosos, aqui fica o link para o livro na Amazon.
