At first I thought this forum inappropriate for this discussion, but
as users/developers of FOSS, we are all threatened by the current IP
regime so I'll respond.
Time constraints prohibit intensive reading, but scanning produces the
following thoughts:
Overall, it's well written. The most interesting part was the
conclusion, in which you begin to form the hypothesis that restrictive
IP laws work against the free market by encouraging monopolistic
inertia. If the whole paper were more clearly devoted to fleshing out
that hypothesis, it could be an A+ bit of work.
One other bit of constructive criticism: The paper is light on
specifics -- would benefit from citing specific WTO/WIPO cases.

I liked the last bit that charles liked as well, but I did find one bit
rather naive:
[if you could duplicate oil like software] "Oil would no longer have value
(peace in the middle east!)".
The peace you describe - if oil suddenly had no value - would be the final
peace of the dead, after the war, violence, starvation, and a mass exodus of
the survivors to countries that still had a viable product to sell.
To some extent this is what the war over patents and copyright is about,
except that it's only the copyright/patent owners that would starve, and the
copyright creators possibly find their incomes somewhat reduced.
