I think everyone knows what the
intent of those laws would be:
- To protect IP, with punishments applied to those who illegally steal others' IP;
- to allow users to access and use purchased IP, within established, acceptable limits, but not to disseminate or use purchased IP beyond the established limits of the IP owner/seller; and
- to apply additional punishments to those who apply others' IP, without permission, for personal gain.
The point is, the existing IP laws are already pretty adequate as they are, with only minor tweaking needed. The real issue is needing the technology to properly back them up (because without it, the laws are toothless). Then the laws can enable and support the security technology.
