In A Virtual World, Who Owns Ideas? General IP Issues5/3/2000; 12:03:11 AM Mar 14, 2000: Some days I think Jon Katz is OK, some days I think he's a complete idiot. In his recent two part essay, In A Virtual World, Who Owns Ideas? (Part 2), he has successfully wasted a lot of his time.Go ahead and browse through the essay. See if you caught what I caught. (Nobody did on slashdot on the day the first part came out.) Jon Katz's entire essay was completely tainted by one gigantic mistake, one that is unfortunately all-too-common in this sort of debate.(BTW, today is not a "Jon Katz is OK" day, in case you couldn't tell.)
