Copyright Issues


      Here's a discussion of property and copyright with David Weinberger that I found really interesting.  The basic question is, why is owning a copyright or patent not the same as owning a house or a piece of heirloom lace?  I've been participating in a mostly polite discussion of this on the Authors Guild listserv.  David, by the way, is about to publish his fifth book on issues of the meaning of the Internet.  And  he's my husband's brother!
