Okay, Ms. Bastos must be an expert on this issue. This book indeed contains a lot of information. HOWEVER, her English [stinks]. Sentences don't make any sense at all, and it makes your mind numb from exhaustion just trying to read 5 pages. (Forget about a whole chapter.) I am writing a graduate paper on this subject, and have read quite a few books on IPRs. This one is by far the worst of all, just because she didn't get her English checked. "These conditions, which helped the establishment of the microcomputer industry, were, however, imcompatible with sustained development of the whole IT sector, which included a newly born software industry, and therefore, could not persist as justification for a long-term policy orientation." Can anyone make out what she is trying to say? I truly wish she had had a better editor, because this book could have helped a lot with my research on the Brazilian IPR regime. I've given up reading it so that I can preserve my brain cells to write my paper. It is such a shame.

This awsome title charts the journey of Arthur Dent across the galaxy in a golden spaceship. Illiterate's Anonymous gives this excellent satire on American satire by Thomas Pynchon 2 thums up.
