“ **INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”.** **DOES OWNERSHIP** **ENCOURAGE** **CREATIVITY?** //(Sociological approach)// Since the issuance of the first Copyright Act (the Statute of Anne) in 1709, theory that ownership of knowledge leads to progress in all spheres of human life including art, literature, science and economy was dominant, if not the only one. Clear tendency to expand the scope of “objects“ that can be “owned” was deemed to be self-evident as the fact, that such system, can only be ensured by regulatory state apparatus and increasing number of mandatory rules (legislation). However emergence of the Internet in the year 2000 has dramatically changed face of copyright law and revealed limitation of its possibilities to cope with challenges of new digital era. In today's world protection of patents also is seen not as accelerator of inventions, but as serious obstacle time saving efficient scientific research. Response to intellectual property regime's limitation sand legislation's incapability to effectively deal with changing environment was self-regulatory initiatives such as Creative/Science Commons movements opposing to traditional understanding of intellectual property rights regime promoted by WIPO. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to try reveal why proprietary view towards knowledge and information appeared to be insufficient and to examine social changes that lead to establishing present system of intellectual property's regulation. The ultimate goal of this work is to introduce expanding self-regulation and determine the need of institutional framework to this regulation. **Bibliography** > [] >
