The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property
About this program
Prof. Jonathan Barnett of USC Gould School of Law presents key insights from his provocative new book, The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property. This program will explore how digital platforms have reshaped copyright law, diminished protections for content owners, and disrupted the creative industries. Drawing from legal scholarship and economic analysis, Barnett explains how ideological shifts and market pressures have fueled the erosion of intellectual property rights—and what that means for creators, consumers, and lawyers navigating the future of media and technology.
