A Search for Global Software IP Rights DisclaimerAn Engineer wrote this paper. Given the large topics of Computer Ethics, Software IP, Copyrights and Globalization, this paper was sensibly limited to arguing a position. However, an engineer realizes solutions, which may deliberate time to develop. So even arguing a position can be risky, with a deadline and non knowing much about the topic or methods. Normally, I would write a position to annunciate a dis come up toy or answer a question or make an assessment on was done or is doable. So I call up myself, at square one, not imagining a toy scope for this paper. My search is daunting, uncertain and uncomfortable because there is little time to understand or cover all of the topics or for making discoveries. How much I long to discover something. Most people do not expect to take risks, particularly on subjects that are outside their expertise. It is a shame. Why expect more? I think that engineers may have something to offer. Th ey expect to face unknowns and reach some, and indeed not all conclusions. So if possible, I want to contribute something to this field of software IP rights, however small but real.Lessons From MishapsCapability and willingness that engineers possess will not always (or often) lead to good solutions. Mistakes are made, critical flaws missed, etc. Some problems go unsolved for centuries. A paper on Paramedic Ethics by W. R. Collins and K. W. Miller, recommends evaluating all pairs of interests in a problem.1 So for x interests, the effort will scale on the Order of x2, which clearly is impractical. Even with this low complexity, it would take 2 months for someone to work 10 minutes on each pair formed from 100 interests. But this is old news. Superscalar design failed at the said(prenominal) thing when attempting to issue more than 4 instructions at a time. Sorting through instructions to find those for issuing requires the same sort of analytic thinking of all pairs (of instruct ions in a window). However, by offering a method for ethical analysis, the authors indirectly enable us to learn a some things, one, that Uses Cases give order to the interests of an ethical problem, two, that Use Cases do not solve complexity and three, that it is critical to minimize the number of interests that will produce a limit solution. Getting LostAs you can tell, Im fairly off track from the topic.
