Where's the Blog?
My apologies for the brief hiatus at Counterfeit Chic. It's conference season in the ivory tower -- something that happens all year long, but especially toward the end of the academic year. Your humble blogger has spent the last few days back at Yale thinking about saving the world (as opposed to what to wear while doing it). Check out the Information Society Project's Access to Knowledge conference proceedings (including an A2K wiki!).
P.S. OK, we didn't spend all of our time figuring out how to save the world. Check out the notes on Professor Eric von Hippel's presentation on the informal norms against copying among French chefs (and discussion of how norms can substitute for intellectual property protection).
