James Boyle reminds us how awesome the world wide web really is, and warns that we would most likely not be creating something as wonderful today. This hits a nerve. I have spent some time recently looking at Economic research on patents and it turns out that patents are — especially in the case of developing countries — largely useless. Useless, as in, they don’t do what they are supposed to do, which is to spur innovation through a careful balance between public disclosure and temporary monopoly rights. However, if one listened to the international debates at WIPO or the WTO (the two organisations that practically “own” intellectual rights – pun intended) it seems that either the experts have not read any of the research or they just don’t care. Finding out WHY they don’t care and HOW that could be changed is the real challenge.
The wonderful wide web is amazing how does a pice of tecnalige know something that the most brainiest people woud’ent know. I don’t know how people build something so ingredable, it’s so good my friend Mr linkon is going to try and invest in it . You can not just only look up things you can play games and look up pics . All the public should be aloud to do this , i also think everybody should have a conputer or lap top thats why the priministerter and yes the primister is going to give out lap tops for free.
