The alternative is never being able to be forgiven. In the real world we see the consequences of feeling like you can't be forgiven with kids and teens who get labeled as "trouble makers". As soon as that label starts to beco

I've been thinking recently about what sort of impact two significant changes to IP law might have in shaping things. 1) Copyrights can only be owned by natural persons and can not be transferred. They can be licensed, but the physical

In any shared transportation space, you need rules for right of way. When two modes of transport want to occupy the same exact space, someone has to be given a priority for the space at any given time. Almost all right of way rules require
