Lucky with wording? Silly systems? Up hear in Canada, we still can't get the Chumby (an electronic device) because a company owns the rights to CHUM TV (a dead entity) and CHUM radio, and threatened to sue them. Fortunately we can still talk about chum salmon.
People are talking about the predicted reductions in law enforcement costs and legal costs due to the changes/elimination of marijuana laws etc...might it be reasonable to also start considering the legal and end-consumer cost savings that would result if changes in the copyright and patent laws resulted in greatly simplified and readily understood laws, reduced terms, with processes made transparent and tech-savvy?
