Bibulo.us is on vacation, running around Europe, at the moment. But we had to share this post on copyright in cocktails by Chris Sprigman and Kal Rautsiala from the New York Times Freakonomics blog. The post argues that, like dishes, cocktails aren't and shouldn't be subject to copyright, because the incentive for innovation is sufficient without the need for intellectual property rights.
Joe is pleased to be in the assuredly narrow slice of people to have had cocktails with both Eben Freeman (whose desire for IP rights in his innovative techniques gave rise to the post) and Chris Sprigman (who Joe worked for during law school).
