IRAQ QUAGMIRE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Iraqi Provisional Government flexes Rule of Law muscles | I'll sleep restfully tonight knowing that Iraq's provisional government has approved a
new copyright protections law | And I suppose Mohammad [
may Allah praise him!] would be the first to demand such protections by copyrighting the
Qu'ran, if he'd written it today | ...not that the provisional government is comprised of Islamic militants, mind you | Just wouldn't want anybody else getting paid for his good works some 1400 years ago |
Equally comforting, is knowing that the
new copyright law expands the
old law's protections by an additional 25 years [now life+50 years] |
Why, I'll bet this is as important to the gneral populace of Iraq as the
new Iraqi flag |
