Creative License
Sometimes I think about switching careers and going into intellectual property/copyright law. With book publishers pissed about the ongoing expansion of Google Print and consumers pissed about the inclusion of destructive digital rights management software on music CDs, it seems like there's plenty of work for IP attorneys. I didn't have much appreciation for the subject in law school, but copyright law has such interesting implications for the stuff we create and how our creations are appropriated. Our culture is being increasingly driven by information and entertainment; the question of who controls this content and its means for distribution are going to become increasingly important in the coming years.
But I think I need to stay in health policy for a while longer, at least until we finally get a universal health care system.
