Episode 11 - 15/08/08 - Intellectual Property
August 23rd, 2008Dan’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!
