One a related note, this quote from an earlier thread about silklister Sonia Katyal's book [1] _Property Outlaws_: <q> As they open one of the late chapters in their Property Outlaws, Eduardo Moisés Peñalver and Sonia K. Katyal speak of a “conflicting divergence” in intellectual property law: “is a pirate an outlaw or a freedom fighter? The law asks, unable to offer a comprehensive answer” (212). Property Outlaws is an ambitious and rigorously argued explanation of why this ambiguity is a good thing. The book also responds to a pressing problem. Intellectual property law, as it is currently developing under intense pressure by property owners, is moving rapidly toward the “outlaw” answer, and in this development, Peñalver and Katyal see cause for concern. </q> [1] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/silk-list/message/34407 -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
