Dan’s off cycling around the countryside, so instead it’s just Ben A’Lee, Gemma Peter and Rich Jeffery ranting about IP laws and people’s attitudes towards it.

The topics in question:

  • Are software patents a good idea for developers and producers to secure their code?
  • With online piracy and the failings of DRM dominating the media, what’s the next step for content providers?
  • With all the new exceptions and rules being added to the GNU Public License each revision, is it becoming too restrictive for developers?
  • Will physical media ever die, or is it all media hype?

All this and tea, lovings and hatings, cake, faux microphone stands and much more in this week’s LOGin!
