The\nvery fact of the th ing’s potential to be turned to use\, by being\nemployed or transferred\, would permit it to be the subject of\nownership. Use\, understood in this sense\, would be the reason and\nend justifying property.\nConceived from this perspective of use\, the notion of an item of\nproperty is strongly f lavoured by the dichotomy of tangibles and\nintangibles\, since an immater ial thing is not turned to use in the\nsame ways as a material one. Grante d\, this dichotomy carries its\nown freight of legal distinctions (e.g.\, intangible things could\nhardly be consumable ones)\, but also a freight o f conceptual\ndistinctions (e.g.\, the user of a work is not the possessor of a\nthing\, this person is sometimes even a 'pirate').\nFrom Private La w to Intellectual Property\, the use (of a thing\,\nof a right) would then dwell in a conceptual landscape fertile for\nmetaphors\, yet also auspici ous to the identification of a few\nmyths. After all\, isn’t it from the u se of things that we can best\ngrasp our legal relationship to them??\nPan elists:\n\nWendy Ann Adams\nMeaning and metaphor:\nAssociative thinking an d the unacknowledged images of 'use' in\nintellectual property\nÉric Labbé \nEntre user d'un droit\net user d'une chose (French only)\nPierre-Emmanue l Moyse\nMode(s) d'emploi\n(French only)\n\n DTSTART:20090526T180000Z DTEND:20090526T180000Z LOCATION:Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 3644 rue Peel SUMMARY:Use / Usage URL:/channels/event/use-usage-106560 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
