Si alguien le faltan aún pruebas de que la defensa de la propiedad intelectual ha entrado en el terreno de la locura, este es el libro que necesita.
No voy a escribir ni siquiera un resumen, dado que está publicado con una licencia Creative Commons y se puede descargar gratuitamente. Hay traducciones al castellano disponibles para el que tenga dificultades con el inglés, así que no hay excusa para, al menos, echarle un vistazo rápido.
Una pequeña cita acerca de la demencia del sistema penal (y lo que nos espera, visto lo visto):
[...] a huge proportion of Americans regularly violate at least some law.
This state of affairs is not without consequence. It is a particularly salient issue for teachers like me, whose job it is to teach law students about the importance of “ethics.” As my colleague Charlie Nesson told a class at Stanford, each year law schools admit thousands of students who have illegally downloaded music, illegally consumed alcohol and sometimes drugs, illegally worked without paying taxes, illegally driven cars. These are kids for whom behaving illegally is increasingly the norm. And then we, as law professors, are supposed to teach them how to behave ethically–how to say no to bribes, or keep client funds separate, or honor a demand to disclose a document that will mean that your case is over. Generations of Americans–more significantly in some parts of America than in others, but still, ever ywhere in America today –can’t live their lives both normally and legally, since “normally” entails a certain degree of illegality.
