The National Research Council committee on Intellectual Property in the Emerging Information Infrastructure (on which I served) held a well-attended public briefing this week and released prepublication copies of their report, The Digital Dilemma: Intellectual Property and the Emerging Information Infrastructure.

The printed book will come out from the National Academy Press around the end of the year. You can find materials from the briefing and a summary of the report at the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board web site, <http://www.cstb.org/>, or at <http://www.nas.edu/>. I am told that the full text of the report will be online within a week or so.

I'd urge you to have a look at these materials; I think that there's a great deal of valuable and useful material in the report.
