        Well, I've gathered so far that the idea is that:  as intellectual
property law collides with the internet, there are profound implications for
society.  To me, that means the average citizen has a right to throw in
her/his two cents.  I'm not a lawyer, either ... nor a nuclear physicist,
but I still feel I have a right to voice my opinion on the use of nuclear power.

        And I like your idea of having students post their work.  If nothing
else, it might make them more excited about writing papers ... when they
provoke a lively online discussion.
