You Can't Be A Fan Of University Of Cincinnati's Sports Teams Unless You've
Paid The Proper License
,----[ Quote ]
| The University says it doesn't matter if the
| University's name or logo isn't on the
| clothing at all. Even a shirt that says "Go
| Cats!" needs a license. Even worse, they're
| not just looking to stop people from selling
| such clothing, they're happily putting them in
| jail for it.

Copyright Monopolies In The Middle Of Health Care Reform Debate As Well
,----[ Quote ]
| An anonymous reader sent over yet another
| example of copyright being abused for
| monopolist reasons that have absolutely
| nothing to do with "promoting the progress,"
| and actually represent a serious healthcare
| issue. I had no idea, but apparently the
| various "codes" used by doctors to classify
| every visit are actually covered by a
| copyright held by the American Medical
| Association, which refuses to allow any free
| or open distribution of the codes (known as
| Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)). That's
| because the AMA makes about $70 million per
| year "licensing" the codes.

Intellectual Property and the Structure of Human Action
,----[ Quote ]
| Granting property rights in scarce
| resources, but not in ideas, is precisely
| what is needed to permit successful action
| as well as societal progress and prosperity.
