Abstract

PHILLIP, Kavita. What is technological authoring?: Piracy and intellectual property. Nómadas [online]. 2008, n.28, pp.66-81. ISSN 0121-7550.

This article shows the study of the current debate on the appropriation of informatic products, from the economical, legal, and political conditions of its enunciation. To do so, the author tracks the emergence of a pirate function, that homologues the Foucauldian concept of author function, to understand the illegality, the intellectual property, and the copyright. From a post-colonial point of view, the construction of differences and equivalences in the technological trades North-South, are understood.

Keywords : piracy; bourgeoisie legality; author function; copyright; intellectual property; software.
