A Critique of Modern Copyright and the Criterion of Intellectual Property in Postmodern Age

Postmodernists believe that copyright، as one of the important parameters of intellectual property، is the continuation of macro-narrations of modernity for giving material and intellectual to support new genres of artistic، literary and computer works. Accordingly، all the criticisms directed to macro-narrations of modernity age is also leveled against these rights، but the present state of commitment to ever more observation of these rights is considered as an improper bias towards injustice، dictatorship and absolutism in the realm of mind and thought. The result of such a view is limiting thinking، intellection and production of intellectual products in order to attain monopolistic material interest in the economic and capitalist market of modern world. Expounding this hypothesis relying on postmodernists'' view، the present paper analyzes the status of copyright in modern age.
