| Abstract | “If.nature.has.made.any.one.thing.less.susceptible. than.all.others.of.exclusive.property,.it.is.the.action.of.the.thing.power.called.an.idea,.which.an. individual.may.exclusively.possess.as.long.as.he. keeps.it.to.himself;.but.the.moment.it.is.divulge,.it. forces.itself.into.the.possession.of.everyone,.and. the. receiver. cannot. dispossess. himself. of. it.. Its. peculiar.character,. too,. is. that.no.one.possesses. the.less,.because.every.other.possesses.the.whole. of.it..He,.who.receives.an.idea.from.me,.receives. instruction.himself.without.lessening.mine;.as.he. who.lights.his.tape.at.mine,.receives.light.without. darkening.me..That.ideas.should.freely.spread.from. one.to.another.over.the.globe,.for.the.moral.and. mutual. instruction. of. man,. and. improvement. of. his.condition,.seems.to.have.been.peculiarly.and. benevolently.designed.by.nature,.when.she.made. them,.like.fire,.expansible.over.all.space,.without. lessening.their.density.at.any.point,.and.like.the.air. in.which.we.breathe,.move.and.have.our.physical. being,.incapable.of.confinement.or.exclusive.appropriation..Inventions.then.cannot,.in.nature,.be. a.subject.of.property.”.—.Thomas.Jefferson,.1813. iNTRODUCTiON |
