War stories needed for UK review of "Intellectual Property" law
Suw sez, "The Open Rights Group has just launched a website where the public can comment on the Call for Evidence from the Gowers Review, a Treasury-level review of intellectual property in the UK. The Gowers Review deadline is the end of April, and it is an important opportunity to provide an alternative viewpoint on copyright, patents and other aspects of IP. We can be sure that the industries which rely on IP will be lobbying heavily, and it's essential we provide balance in the debate. The Open Rights Group is particularly looking for first-hand accounts of using IP in business (regardless of the size of that business) or in your personal life that illustrate the problems with the current regime."
