Part of an email between myself and the Top A.I. guy in the world - I kid you not, you can even ask him.
Me:-
>I read intelligenthics and was amazed to see some of my book in there,
>you used a Ford, I said Ferrari, and it was both a shock and a pleasure.

Him:-
I hope its just that great minds think alike, and not that I plagiarized! I
started being a theorist of Intellectual property when windows 95 hit, because I
was pissed that someone could sell me something, then take it back and make me
buy it again. Between 93 and 97 I evolved a free online book http:://www.jordanpollack.com/softwaremarket
which solves the software fascism (microsoft monopoly) vs communism (piracy)
problem with a finite public market in permanent resalable licenses. But I need
$50M to start that business of a new stock exchange:)
