The subject of
this article
sounds like a mock-cartoon version of repressive censorship laws. But
the proposals are real. They have been widely discussed in the
Brazilian blogosphere and to some extent in the Brazilian press and
TV, but they've received hardly any attention in the United States.

William Patry, one of the most respected online commentators on
copyright, has
shut down his weblog.
It so happens that copyright is a major subject covered in a book
recently released by O'Reilly, Van Lindberg's
Intellectual Property and Open Source A Practical Guide to Protecting Code.
This blog continues with a brief statement by Van about Patry's
decision, then a brief statement of my own, and finally an excerpt from
Van's book about how copyright got to the state it's in, an excerpt I
hope you'll enjoy and learn from.
