This is a fantastic lecture on fashion and the absence of IP

May 25, 2010 by

Do not avert your eyes. Listen and learn. It’s so important that I wish this blog had a feature that would allow me to auto-post every week forever.

Enjoyed this (but I wouldn’t like to copy her jacket!).

HL May 25, 2010 at 2:08 pm

That’s what I thought! Her shoes aren’t working for me, either.

Peteboypete May 25, 2010 at 3:08 pm

I disagree. That lady’s outfit is slammin’!

(Her ideas were great, too!)

gabriel May 25, 2010 at 2:21 pm

great presentation. LINUX!

No copyright, extraordinary creativity, huge profits (and losses sometimes of course!). QED.

See my earlier blog posts on this issue.

“Why Fashion? Paris gets clothed” http://divisionoflabour.com/archives/004414.php

“I, Pencil Skirt” http://divisionoflabour.com/archives/004693.php

I’m working on a related book this summer at Social Philosophy and Policy Center.

Stephan Kinsella May 26, 2010 at 9:17 am

Ed, what’s your book about?

Ed Lopez May 26, 2010 at 10:03 am

Stephan,
It’s an in-depth treatment of the dual forms of entrepreneurship that I see in this industry. I draw on competitive innovation ideas. I will send you a short proposal/description. See my post here, for a glimpse: http://divisionoflabour.com/archives/007161.php
Best,
Ed

This video was just posted on Slashdot. I love that site for tech news, but man, what a bunch of idiotic commenters. They constantly complain about the mess the copyright and patent system is in, but very few think that it should be outright abolished. Great video, more ammunition for the cause. :)

Great video! Thank you very much for sharing!

Jeffrey,

Maybe you can’t set the blog to automatically post every week, but you certainly could use one of the many free automatic tweeting services available to have the mises.org twitter account tweet a link to it every week.

The software elites like Adobe, Microsoft and Apple are cringing as the world slowly realizes the benefits of Free and Open Source Software.

L7 May 31, 2010 at 1:09 pm

so the question is how is a book less utilitarian than a sock?

The Radii Shoe Fanatic July 29, 2010 at 4:49 pm

There are some autoblogging tools out there al though it depends on the quality of content you are hoping to post.. Enjoyed the post..:)

Blog Blueprint User February 2, 2011 at 10:29 am

The Radii, I would suggest that anyone who takes your advice about autoblogging should take a look at the video that is posted on youtube about the difference between autoblogs and autosplogs before they waste their money on any autoblogging tools. Here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyTdl52XLo4

love her outfit sans the shoes. i think what she is saying really needs to be heard by many more before any changes could occur.

travel November 2, 2010 at 7:21 am

a very good topic in the site

Bendy Necklace November 17, 2010 at 2:06 pm

Very good video. Makes sense. She does definitely needs new shoes..

anu November 23, 2010 at 1:48 am

jessica December 9, 2010 at 8:14 am

Great presentation, very informative, yes the outfit was a bit disappointing.

Afrodita January 21, 2011 at 9:39 pm

Interesting points on self-copying but didn’t like her outfit!

Kerstin February 19, 2011 at 2:20 am

Great video! But the lady’s outfit is boring.
