At first I thought this forum inappropriate for this discussion, but as users/developers of FOSS, we are all threatened by the current IP regime so I'll respond. Time constraints prohibit intensive reading, but scanning produces the following thoughts: Overall, it's well written. The most interesting part was the conclusion, in which you begin to form the hypothesis that restrictive IP laws work against the free market by encouraging monopolistic inertia. If the whole paper were more clearly devoted to fleshing out that hypothesis, it could be an A+ bit of work. One other bit of constructive criticism: The paper is light on specifics -- would benefit from citing specific WTO/WIPO cases. On 4/23/07, Brian Dunn <job17and9@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
