Don’t have time to write, but you guys need to see this.

What is the government doing when we’re not looking? Bad things.

    Cap and Trade, Obama Care, TARP, ignoring Social Security’s massive funding issues, Multi-trillion dollar deficits…

    What would lead you to expect it to be any different than when we ARE looking?

    What is a sensible basis for copyright?

    John Perry Barlow wrote about it fifteen years ago:

    The Economy of Ideas (everything you know about copyright is wrong)

    Barlow is not just talking through his hat. He and the other members of The Grateful Dead got quite rich doing exactly what he says. That gives his observations a considerable weight in terms of what works, and why, in the field of IP.

But Before You Say That…

  • Comments that are inappropriate, rude, completely stupid, or obviously meant to bait others into a flame war may be deleted.  If that happens to you and you want to throw a tantrum about “free speech,” do it on your own blog.  Basically, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face without the shield of anonymity, don't say it here.
  • If you are a new commenter or are using a new e-mail address, your comment will go to moderation.  Even regular commenters get stuck in moderation sometimes.  Please be patient; your comment will be published as soon as I can get to it.
  • Comments that will never get published are those that are posted under the name “anonymous” and those using an obviously fake e-mail address.
