Abstract

This essay examines the restrictions imposed on the use of images. It contrasts forms of transmission of images with contemporary transmission. It begins by focusing on the traditional image of the Garuda or Krut, and its function as a royal and state symbol in South East Asia. It then moves on to examine the philosophy of intellectual property and the manner in which private factions claim a new forms of sovereignty through the restrictions associated with information and images. It finally examines the fragility of corporate sovereignty and the phenomena of intellectual piracy.
