There are many controversial ideas of resource utilization. The main discussion is how to maximally benefit from the scarce resources; “private property” and “common property” regimes are the two major solutions for centuries. However, the private property has been taking into the major role as the most convincing principle of economics. The intellectual property has been established and developed but not exactly from the same ground of property of things.

Spam Works: Evidence From Stock Touts And Corresponding Market Activit, Jonathan Zittrain Dec 2005

Spam Works: Evidence From Stock Touts And Corresponding Market Activit, Jonathan Zittrain

Jonathan Zittrain

We assess the impact of spam that touts stocks upon the trading activity of those stocks and sketch how profitable such spamming might be for spammers and how harmful it is to those who heed advice in stock-touting e-mails. We find convincing evidence that stock prices are being manipulated through spam. We suggest that the effectiveness of spammed stock touting calls into question prevailing models of securities regulation that rely principally on the proper labeling of information and disclosure of conflicts of interest as means of protecting consumers, and we propose several regulatory and industry interventions. Based on a large …

The Blogosphere And The New Pamphleteers, Donald J. Kochan Dec 2005

The Blogosphere And The New Pamphleteers, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

The future of the free dissemination of information lies in the blog, some may say. The internet has entirely transformed how we receive and consume information. It’s the newest incarnation of information dissemination. From the insights of Alexis de Tocqueville, “Feelings and opinions are recruited, the heart is enlarged, and the human mind is developed only by the reciprocal influence of men upon one another.” Bloggers are a powerful force in the distribution of information and ideas and the creation of communities of conversation. Throughout history, the dissemination of information, news, opinions, and ideas has continuously transformed. In the 18th …
