This is a good contest, making writing about intellectual property law
fun for students.  It's definitely more exciting than that _other_
contest...

I'd want to throw in the phrase "Like other subsidies, 'intellectual
property' laws have costs as well as benefits" if I wrote a WIPO or
WIPOut essay, or talked to a reporter or a friend about this.

I understand that Brian Harvey is teaching a computer ethics course at
Berkeley this semester; I imagine he has a much more interesting
curriculum.  Want to check it out?

Wednesdays and Fridays, 380 Soda Hall.

If you've gone back to New Jersey, I can pass this along to
free-sklyarov-sfba.
