BTW, one of the issues to be addressed by the Seattle round of GATT was intellectual property rights which includes copyright and patents. Of course we know who trashed that attempt - with a myopic fear of a world economy.

People see Napster as a big problem because their only news source is "the big story" Action News, et al. Therefore they fear GATT, NAFTA, and cannot put the China piracy problem in perspective.

Maybe the problem is not entrenched management and incumbant Congress. We have met the enemy and he is us - the we who refuse to learn.
