So here's the thing. I think everyone here is intelligent, so I need to pick your brains. My group and I need to do a paper for our Globalization and Development class, and we had to pick a topic that has something to do with globalization and development (duh! ), so we were interested in intellectual property, maybe something about copyrights OR patents.

I need to read up on it. I'm especially interested in the relationship of copyrights to e-books, so I would love it if anyone could point me in the direction of reliable links for sources of info or public domain ebooks concerning the topic. I need to read up so I can make the question for our paper and our stand.

Thanks so much!

It is very topical at the moment. I suggest looking up the ACTA treaty, which had its "signing ceremony" a couple days ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Co...rade_Agreement

(note, despite the title, it is very much to do with copyright)

Although not specifically about ebooks, the Agreement would seem to directly and very strongly relate to the copyright aspects you're looking at. And you'll find much discussion likely if you go googling.

Cheers,
Marc
