Friends, One thought does occur to me. If the creative and performing arts are to have the glory and stature of physics and the natural sciences, then why should we not use IP models as they do? Yours, Ken Simon Biggs wrote: --snip-- The question of IP ownership in this economy is a good one. Very little research in academia is done by one person. Even artistic practice based research, over recent years, has seen a move to collaborative team based working. In the sciences it is quite normal for the university to claim IP rights over new knowledge or to develop shared ownership models if ideas and inventions are spun out into industry. As yet I am not aware of this having happened in the creative arts...but I can see it coming. Why should the creative arts be treated any differently? Is there any difference in the nature of authorship, and thus ownership, between physics and sculpture? --snip--
