Comments on: Promotional Piracy http://whystudyeconomics.ac.uk/blog/2008/03/promotional-piracy/ showing why Economics matters Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:39:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nick Dougan http://whystudyeconomics.ac.uk/blog/2008/03/promotional-piracy/comment-page-1/#comment-7003 Nick Dougan Sun, 31 Jul 2011 06:02:32 +0000 http://whystudyeconomics.ac.uk/blog/?p=69#comment-7003 Dear Karen, An interesting paper – I was a student at Warwick at the time and wish I’d heard about it at the time. Copyright isn’t my strongest area, but I’m interested in intellectual property issues in general. I appreciate that you probably come at this from an economic viewpoint. I suggest, however, that companies that turn a blind eye for “promotional piracy” when it suits them probably undermine their ability to enforce their IPR when they do want or need to. That’s certainly the case with trade mark law, where failure to enforce trade marks can lead to them becoming merely generic. Another factor for the overall economic assessment, I’d say. Nick Dear Karen,
