Abstract

We are pleased that our Article, The Law, Culture, and Economics of Fashion, attracted a long and thoughtful response from two distinguished participants who have been so influential in this debate. The simultaneous desire for differentiation and flocking is alive and well. In their response, The Piracy Paradox Revisited, Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman (RS) point out agreement on key issues, and simultaneously stress disagreement with aspects of our model, adhere to their “induced obsolescence” account of fashion trends, which we reject, and raise doubts about our policy proposal. The exchange embodies the dynamics that are pervasively in tension, in creative—including academic—pursuits.
