“Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Culture is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it’s supposed to nurture.”
— Alex Kozinski, the first Chief Judge of the Federal Claims Court, and a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit since 1985.
