This edited volume brings together fourteen leading philosophers, economists, and legal scholars to critically examine whether—and under what conditions—intellectual property rights can be fair. It explores fundamental questions such as the distinction between intellectual and tangible property, the compatibility of libertarian or Rawlsian theories with IP rights, the ethics of free-riding, and the role of incentives in justice theories. through case studies spanning peer-to-peer file sharing, access to medicines, and genetic patents, the collection fosters a rich interdisciplinary dialogue between normative theory and practical concerns.
