    --  JAPANESE PROFESSOR/US EMBASSY EXCHANGE OVER BUSINESS METHOD PATENTS

Earlier this year, Japanese professor Hiroshi Konno criticized the
adoption of an "American standard" for handling business method patents
in Japan.  His comments are at:

The US Embassy commented with a rebuttal:

----------------

There's also a long rant against "theft" of music etc by P2P systems and a
cheap shot against Lawrence Lessig (often blasted by GregNews):

<<

What is surprising is the support of certain academics for this nonsense,
academics who have never dealt with the headaches of running real
businesses.
