At least it's short
Below are a couple of (well I think so anyway) interesting articles on topical IP issues.
The first is an argument by a US patent attorney about why software ought to be patented. It is rabidly pro-patent in a way that is probably as unbalanced as many of the anti-software-patent pieces I've seen, and some of the arguments in favour could easily be challenged. But within all the bombast are a few gems.
The other one is about copyright collection societies and the challenges that face them, and how one society is trying to deal with those challenges.
That's all I got. Not every post has to be about politics, people.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:
1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.

"Not every post has to be about politics, people."
ReplyDeleteInded not. Your blog claims to be about 'the media, politics, law, and big fish'.
I've noticed a singular lack of posts about big fish*. Please remedy this before I am forced to take action against you.
*True, you have posted several times about whales, but that's not good enough. We all know whales are mammals, not fish. You're not fooling anyone.
Rich, don't forget that I know who you are, and I know all your filthy secrets. If you want to have a go then be my guest. I might just mention to your wife that incident last week involving the parrots and five kilograms of cheddar. Did I mention that it's all on tape? Brother, you are one sick man.
