Blog goes to the dogs

In a vain effort to keep my front-page from being populated entirely by dog-related stories:

Richard Stallman explains the dangers of software patents via an (excellent) application to Les Misérables.
Donald Whiteside (vice-president of Intel) explains the evils of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (and DRM schemes in general) using Rudy and Pop Warner football (via Ernest Miller and J. D. Lasica).
Clifford is made an honorary member of Somerville Dog. (OK, one dog-related link snuck in there.)
