Hello Zäme

Today www.news.admin.ch/ sent a communique advertising a new site and 
booklet by Eidgenössisches Institut für Geistiges Eigentum (IGE) about 
the revision of the law on Author's Rights.

2 odd things in a site thus promoted by the federal administration:

1) the game linked bottom right, entitled "Game «Support Creative 
People» Kampf den Ideen-piraten!", with a notice saying "Eine Idee von 
Atalier visual entertainment, mit freundlicher Unterstützung durch 
Microsoft Schweiz GmbH"

Sic(k)

2) the Über Urheberrecht.ch page 
http://www.droitdauteur.ch/D/ueber/ueb1.php?m=2, which, under 
Projektsbegleitung,  lists: "Open-Source: Christian Laux und Urs Gehrig 
(openlaw), www.openlaw.ch "

Somehow, it sounds extremely unlikely that Laux and Gehrig were 
consulted about the von Microsft Schweiz GmbH freundlich unterstütztes 
game. Unless, of course, they deviously chose to OK it, on the ground 
that its utter boredom and stupidity would boomerang ;-)
