| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## These makes sense for physical goods but what about intangible things like ideas, do we "own" those? Do we have the same rights? |

| 81 | +# ==Intellectual Property==, commonly referred to as just "IP", is a category of property that includes nontangible creations |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +<br> |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### Treating IP in the same way as physical property recognizes the value of intelligent and artistic works which come from creativity, ideas, research, skills, labor, non-material efforts. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +<br> |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +### Giving people and businesses property rights to the information and intellectual goods they create also provides economic incentive as well as stimulates creation/invention! |

| 192 | +### The almost universal rule in the United States and other industrialized countries is that an employer owns the rights to ideas and inventions of employees — when the idea or invention was created by the employee on-the-job or when using the employer’s facilities, equipment, and/or data. |

| 196 | +### As a result of this, Bowdoin College could potentially claim ownership over IP I create while teaching here! |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +<br> |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +### Similarly, Bowdoin College could also claim ownership over some of the IP you create while being a student here! |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +<br> |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +## You really need to check on a per-institution / employer basis! |

| 236 | +#### As we talked about before, illegal copying is pervasive due to he Internet allows copies to spread quickly and widely! |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +<br> |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +#### Global availability! (Think about international laws). |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +<br> |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +#### Digital goods are incredibly easy to copy and distribute. |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +<br> |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +#### With scanning and compression technology, creating perfect copies of large physical materials is possible. |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +<br> |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +#### Search engines make finding material easier! |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +<br> |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +#### Peer-to-peer technology makes sharing files without oversight possible! |
