copy fights If you're interested in the IP issues I like to write about, then this book from Cato looks to be a must-read. It's got a foreword by the always-sensible Declan McCullagh, and a range of opinions from the fervently pro-IP James DeLong to the IP skeptic John Perry Barlow. Tech Central Station even published an adaptation of the chapter by Tom Bell, which seems remarkably like something I might have written. These both come as pleasant surprises -- it's always seemed that supporters of "free markets," from libertarian thinktanks to Tech Central Station, too often err towards unflinching support of big business. So I take it as a good sign that Cato and TCS are taking IP skepticism seriously.
