One bee in my bonnet which sends steam showers streaming screaming from my ears is the way the latest laws and decisions relating to intellectual property unfairly infringe on legitimate use of published products. I will argue that in fact major social and intellectual benefits are being hindered by the current rigorous stance on copyright; this article at least suggests that there may be some heavy-duty protection available for "fair use".
Those who would trample on this right may find, to their regret, their feet infected by thorns of shame.
