ABSTRACT
As a cultural value, the notion of "creativity" inscribes the debate with a comprehensive historical and ideological language, infusing the discourse of intellectual property systems and their critics, and lending to intellectual property a distinctly "cultural" purpose. Intellectual property laws have become firmly institutionalised as the legitimate way in which industrialised societies recognise, validate, and celebrate innovation, originality, and, above all, creativity. Currently, unprecedented debate contributes to the process, instating the cultural institution of intellectual property, whereby intellectual property laws are increasingly being implied by industry and others as the conventions by which to understand and recognise the creative process. The intellectual property system may continue to be articulated upon conventional economic models of industrial capitalism and trade in "goods", nevertheless, the network is considered to motivate and necessitate new patterns and models in capitalist modes of production. The modern network structure, generally speaking, is a phenomenon of organisation or otherwise through unanticipated links and acquaintance - contact, familiarity, proximity.
