LEGS8007 Class 03.1

Part 01: Property

This was our first class.

We discussed the nature of property and how it is dependent on law. We discussed the differences between intellectual property and tangible property and concluded that the are more aline than we thing, not because intellectual property is more tangible than we first thought, but because tangible property is actually itself quite ephemeral.  We also discussed how property rights are not absolute and can be justifiably constrained by the state.
