Publisher's Synopsis

From the shopping mall to the corner bistro, knockoffs are everywhere in today's marketplace. Conventional wisdom holds that copying kills creativity, and that laws that protect against copies are essential to innovation - and economic success. But are copyrights and patents always necessary? This book argues that creativity can not only survive in the face of copying, but can thrive.
