Patent Attorney Stephan Kinsella Presents On Why We Need To Rethink
Intellectual Property
from the *good-for-him *dept

If you've got a spare 40 minutes to an hour, it's worth watching patent
attorney Stephan Kinsella's presentation: Rethinking Intellectual Property
Completely<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=280262988255234681&hl=en>,
as given in March. The video is embedded below, and it fits in nicely with
my ongoing (yes, there's still plenty more)
series<http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080409/011406799.shtml>of
posts on intellectual property. It's pretty rare to see a patent
attorney
explain so lucidly the problems with patents (and copyrights):
He does a very nice job ripping apart the "property rights" arguments that
some, especially some libertarians, use in favor of patents, explaining why
that doesn't make sense. It's an excellent presentation, and well worth
watching.
