  This post discusses some of the tensions that exist between the increasing effort to enforce Intellectual Property Rights and the impact of the Internet. It introduces Intellectual Property (IP) and Information Technology (IT), and tries to find out how IP and IT can be mutually beneficial. It suggests that in recent year, technology and specifically the Internet, has been changing personal and social behavior, such as they way we learn, the way we do business, and even the way in which wealth is being created. The popularity of information and knowledge on the Internet has posted some threat to IP and copyright issues. However, the Internet users and IP owners are not fully reconciled on the impact of the Internet on IP. IP owners often hold a complicated attitude towards Internet. They eager for the support of users in promoting their products, ideas, services online, but also still want to have almost exclusive control of how those activities are conducted, which often and inherently undermines the desire (and opportunity) to share. Hence although a mutually beneficial relationship between IP and IT can exist, there are still a number of adjustments that ought to be made to better accommodate the changing paradigm that is occurring due to the Internet.
  
  I think this is a dilemma since IP owners need Internet to help them promoting their products, but they have to take the risk that Internet will threaten their ownership and interests. I think a possible way is satisfy both IP owners and IT users is to made the introduction and description of the product free, but if you want to see the whole thing or details, you will have to pay; Or give free trails for a limited time as what many of the software and products are doing right now.
