A new PAC for solving the IP issues
Posted October 18, 2004 – 3:19 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in PoliticsI ran across a story at NewsForge describing a new Political Action Comitee (PAC) called iPAC for influencing the current intellectual property issues. Their principles sound pretty good to me but it remains to be seen how much impact they will make:
1. Creators of ideas and inventions have the right to be compensated for their work, but not to limit political expression, veto technological innovation, or restrict education and scientific research.
2. Intellectual property laws should be judged by their potential to foster new creativity, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
3. Intellectual property laws should be clear and explicit, so anybody can create without fear of lawsuits.
