Lydia Pallas Loren : The Purpose of Copyright

"[T]he conclusion that a greater numbers of works will be created when there are greater monopolies fails to account for the negative implications of broad monopolies on creative expression. When the scope of the copyright monopoly becomes too great, the creation of new works is, itself, hampered. After all, each creator of a new work builds in some way on the works of the past. With overly broad monopolies, new works that build upon old are not created, creativity is stifled, and thus the net value to society is lessened. We have, what Judge Walker referred to a 'monopolistic stagnation.'"

How do the French send email?

A friend asks : "I have a client that recently moved to France. She is using a French keyboard and cannot seem to create the @ symbol. I have downloaded keyboard maps and they verify the key is missing from the layout. How do the French (and other Europeans) send email? May be a dumb question, but we're baffled." If you know the answer, send me mail.
