"The Intellectual Slave" version 2.0 Entry id: rights-trouble

In case it's not blindingly obvious, my latest Nutter Document, The Trouble With Having Rights, is the re-written version of The Intellectual Slave I threatened to write. The new version is slightly longer (but still pretty short by my standards), and aimed at an audience that is not aware there might be a down-side to having Intellectual Property Rights.

So what do you think, dear reader? Do I have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the competition? It would be amusing if I did, but it seems rather unlikely. I don't even know how many entries they've had. Still, it's another "alternative concept" thrown out into the wild. We'll see if anything comes of it.
