The intellectual property racket

,----[ Quote ]
| The Disney Movie Appreciation Club, an organization that 
| was set up with the goal of providing an outlet to relieve 
| overly stressed students, had to be closed down recently 
| due to potential license infringement. The length of a 
| Studlife column is too short to give a comprehensive 
| argument against intellectual property rights. 
| Nevertheless, the recent closing of the club stands out as 
| a perfect example of how, contrary to their original 
| intent, intellectual property rights only limit the 
| availability of information and expression.
