• Sommario/riassunto: Since the rise of Napster and other file-sharing services in its wake, most of us have assumed that intellectual piracy is a product of the digital age and that it threatens creative expression as never before. The Motion Picture Association of America, for instance, claimed that in 2005 the film industry lost 2.3 billion in revenue to piracy online. But here Adrian Johns shows that piracy has a much longer and more vital history than we have realized-one that has been largely forgotten and ; is little understood.Piracy explores the intellectual property wars from the advent of print culture in

• Sommario/riassunto: Im Jahr 1854 empfingen die Innsbrucker Studenten den Minister für Kultus und Unterricht Leo Thun-Hohenstein bei seiner Ankunft in Innsbruck mit einem großen Fackelumzug und huldigten dem Minister mit selbstgedichteten Liedern. Sie feierten ihn als neuen Prometheus, als denjenigen, der durch seine Universitätsreformen die österreichischen Universitäten mit dem Licht der Aufklärung erfüllt habe und die Universitäten in eine neue Ära führen werde.Aichner untersucht die Zeitenwende der österreichischen Universitäten am Beispiel der Universität Innsbruck. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die Umsetzung der Thun-Hohenstein´schen Reformen im Spannungsfeld von gesamtstaatlichen Interessen und lokalen Voraussetzungen. Behandelt werden außerdem die Auswirkungen der Reform in einer mittel- und langfristigen Perspektive.
