Ah, but there's a link there to the full text:
http://www.politechbot.com/p-01195.html
>From the text:
If intellectual property is not protected - across the board, in
every case, with no exceptions and no sophistry about a changing
world - what will happen? Intellectual property will suffer the
fate of the buffalo.
Ha! And what if those crazy white hunters could have made digital
copies of the buffalo at the click of a mouse, edited the carcass out
of the copy's valuable hide with a few further clicks and emailed the
hide to market in Amsterdam? Leaving the original buffalo
undisturbed, of course.
Oh, well, nobody that I know of has spoken well of the Bronfmans and
quite a number have opined to the contrary.
Thanks for the pointer,
- Mike
