Sounds like a wonderful research topic, but I'm a little confused
about how to get started.
Any tips or suggestions?
With best regards,

Write 5 pages, double spaced, on the following topic,
: using at least 4 citations you find on the web regarding
: the topic or using library search, like lexis-nexis:
: Software is not sold like a book, but is licensed, and may
: have renewal fees, time-out restrictions,
: and restrictions on resale. Consider another
: object comprised mainly of information,
: (e.g. book, seeds, music, games, magazines, education)
: and analyse how software licensing ideas are (or will, or can be)
: affecting the future distribution of that object.
: Consider questions like:
: What do humans do to get around the licensing restrictions?
: What technology can be used to enforce the license?
: You can use DIVX as a reference and discussion, but
: don't write a paper on DIVX, please!
