NAPSTER and the IRS (February 2001)
One night, while writing my usual Intellectual Property appeals
to the public to realize how many lives are impacted each time a
song is "stolen" in use (unpaid), a crazy thought
occurred to me. I wrote it up as an "exercise" in view,
trying to illustrate that our copyrights are WORTH something. I
don't advocate...

ETHICS
(December 2000)
Business, Napster and General
Business Ethics
are pretty much the same as your other life ethics. I'm talking

FROM August 1999, Judge's Initial Ruling Article
A U.S. federal judge shut down Napster for

rather "duplicating".

that created
Napster's technology would need to devise a solution to comply
with copyright law.
