Property Outlaws puts forth the intriguingly counterintuitive proposition that, in the cast of both tangible and intellectual property law, disobedience can often lead to an improvement in legal regulation. The authors employ wide-ranging examples of the behaviors of "property outlaws"-the trespasser, squatter, pirate, or file-sharer-to show how specific behaviors have induced legal innovations.
