“…For example, in patent law, the no-waste proviso ensures that the appropriation of new ideas via patents ought not to involve waste. In this regard, Donald Richards (2002) argued that there were a lot of cases where new ideas and innovations had been delayed or permanently lost by interests who used patents to prolong their existing intellectual and physical capital stick. Appropriated images can also be wasted if they are not fully utilised.…”

Introduction to The Problem: At its core, Locke's main argument is centralised in the role of labour, while Hegel's principal idea lies in one's will, self-actualisation as well as personal expression. As both thinkers posit strong arguments in substantiating their views, discussions surrounding this topic may influence one to favour a particular theory over the other. Purpose/Objective Study: This paper makes a modest attempt to discuss the justifications of intellectual property rights by focusing on two well-known philosophers, John Locke and G.W.F Hegel. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research design is exploratory as this paper aspires to explore the basis for the grant of intellectual property rights from the lenses of both theories. Therefore, the research methodology is purely doctrinal and theoretical. The research approach is mainly based on library research, focusing on a reading and analysis of Locke and Hegel's published works, as well as other materials such as journal articles, commentaries, and textbooks. Findings: This article contributes to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting that neither Locke nor Hegel could provide one-fit-for-all justifications of intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, it is worth stating that both philosophers do contribute thoughtful insights that reflect important values worthy of considerations and should never be undermined when framing policies and laws on intellectual property rights.

“…According to it, IPRs constitute a moral necessity for the development of each individual's personality (Richards 2002). The latter can only be adequately expressed in ethical community-that is, a liberal realm in which contracts and exchange take place.…”

“…The improvement of nature in turn benefits the society as a whole. Thus, the justification of property rights can be tied into teleological theories such as utilitarianism as introduced by John Stuart Mill (1806Mill ( -1873 and Jeremy Bentham (1748Bentham ( -1832Richards 2002). Mill (1864/1979 suggested, ''Pleasure and freedom from pain are the only things desirable as ends; and .…”

Markets for musical works are based on a compromise between sharing and owning. By empowering consumers and aspiring artists, new digital technology and the Internet threaten to change this compromise. The new technologies allow consumers to make and to disseminate—legally and illegally—copies of musical works that are virtually the same in quality as the original. Facing falling or stagnant sales, established entities of the music industry—recording companies, producers, and distributors— are fighting back with increased lobbying for ever tighter copyright laws and stricter enforcement. The authors analyze contemporary copyright protection for musical works by illuminating the interplay of new technologies, public policy, protection awarded to artists, and outcomes for all stakeholders in markets for musical works throughout history from a societal, jurisprudential, and ethical perspective. Little support has been found for the music industry’s call for more legal protection of the status quo. A new balance between sharing and owning that shifts power from the industry and its established stars to consumers and aspiring artists is not likely to translate ‘‘to the day the music died.’’
