About the Book

Superdistribution means giving up on copyright as the sole basis of electronic ownership and turning to useright instead. It means giving the bits away, but charging customers when they use them. In this book, Cox Discusses the information age economy in terms of objects made of bits and defined as property in tangible, intellectual and electronic domains; Introduces superdistribution as a comprehensive yet controversial solution to the challenges of developing the information age economy; Traces the cause of the software crisis to the lack of robust means for supporting electronic ownership and revenue collection within elaborate cooperative communities; Applies the concepts of interchangeable parts and inspection gauges--techniques pioneered during the industrial revolution--to todays challenge of software engineering on the electronic frontier.
