"Protecting America’s IP won’t hinder progress on AI, it will strengthen and accelerate it by putting the power of property rights and free markets to work steering investment and innovation in smart, sustainable directions. And that’s precisely what the Founding Fathers intended when they enshrined IP rights in the US Constitution, empowering authors, artists and all creators to bargain over the use of their work. Those IP rights ensure that the parties with the most knowledge and the greatest interests (on both sides of the deal) ultimately determine price and other terms through free-market negotiations." via The Daily Caller (fb)

"For The Ditch Weekly ’s sophomore summer, its staff has swelled to 20 teenagers. Their goal is to distribute 2,000 copies of the paper a week through Labor Day, funded entirely by ad sales. And they do not want their parents to be involved — except for when they need their parents to drive them places. Perhaps most ambitious of all, they hope to persuade other teenagers to put down their phones and pick up a newspaper." via The New York Times (fb)
