When are you going to sue your customers?

I've decided it's time to blog.  I (naively) believe I have something to say, and through the encouragement of friends I will try it out on the rest of you.  Of course I've never been able to follow instructions, so the first thing I actually wanted to talk about was more of an essay, than a post, and so that's how I've published it.  I'm tired of the constant fear mongering around intellectual property and open source software and "enterprises being sued" and thought it time to offer a different opinion.  It's called "When are you going to sue your customers?"

Nice essay, and my congratulations for the bibliography and reference checks. Out of curiosity, when you 'confirm' a press story, what does that entail? Contacting the firms in question, or just checking the links?
