In recent times, disinformation and privacy violation have become the ‘information pollution’ of the 21st century. This book explores ways and means of protecting the ‘information environment’ by drawing upon four theories of contemporary environmentalism: welfare economics, the commons, ecology, and public choice theory. Welfare economics highlights the need to focus on costs (as well as benefits) when evaluating regulatory structures. The commons encourages queries about the validity of propertisation. Ecology speaks to the importance of diversity and resilience. And public choice theory hazards against the regulatory effect of concentrated interests. The lessons from each inspire the proposed information environmental governance framework. By neatly capturing the metaphorical relationship between the physical environment and the information environment, Robert Cunningham explores progressive regulatory pathways for the digital age. This book will be a thought-provoking read for scholars and students with an interest in intellectual property or the regulation of information. 000027434 650_0 $$aInformation commons$$zAustralia. 000027434 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zAustralia. 000027434 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000027434 650_0 $$aInformation commons. 000027434 650_4 $$aIntellectual property rights 000027434 650_4 $$aInformation environment 000027434 651_0 $$aAustralia$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000027434 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/display/9780857938435.xml$$yView eBook 000027434 942__ $$cMON$$jF 619 CUN.I 000027434 952__ $$w2014-09-29$$p2014-0196$$r94.50$$u41935$$bMAIN$$10$$kF 619 CUN.I$$v2014-09-29$$zTagged$$71 000027434 980__ $$aBIB$$aOS 000027434 999__ $$c29863$$d29863
