James Boyle, writing in the on-line edition of the Financial Times, has a simply brilliant article about copyright and its failings, in the particular context of databases. It is very pleasing to see someone use the terms "copyright" and "monopoly" together with such eloquence and frequency.
My favorite quote: "First rule of thumb for regulators: when someone with a profit margin over 20% asks you for additional monopoly protection, pause before agreeing."
