Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book critiques the established justifications for Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). It enquires into their philosophical, theoretical, and moral premises, and shows how IPRs come into conflict with other rights in society.
MoreLong description:
The book is an inquiry into the nature and scope of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) using three different approaches: the philosophical, the empirical, and the theoretical. It studies the different justifications usually put forward in favour of protecting rights in intellectual property and shows how such rights come into conflict with other rights in society. The author contends that rights can and should be 'structured in a lexical order of priority where
rights which are linked to survival strategies ought to be to have enough legal teeth to trump rights which are more in the nature of economic entitlements, like IPRs are'.
