Re: chip fabs gearing up for AES (fwd)
With subtle distinctions, intellectual-property (IP) core vendors are readying implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) security algorithm.
This author needs to get a clue. There is only one form of intellectual property, which is the trademark, and trademarks won't benefit from encryption. Copyrights are "held", not "owned". Copyrights expire; property doesn't. Copyrights exist to reward the production of artisitic or literary material, as a public benefit. Property rights exist for their owners. The term "intellectual property" must have been invented by the same PR genius who invented the terms "freeway" and "Social Security".

Ah, good point. To be more clear: property rights don't expire, but the property itself might. Speaking of which I think I need to clean my fridge. But I still have title to that OJ, no matter how old it is!
