...stem cells, and that has the scientific community worried. In order to maximize the medical payoff from stem-cell research, researchers prefer to work with the most robust population of cell lines possible. No one knows, after all, if some lines are more viable than others and if some lend themselves to many uses while others to only a few. If too many of the lines dead-end or die off, research could stagnate. "Some stem-cell uses," says Krause, "will require diversity greater than 60 cell lines...
...even Bingham admits the DMCA may have "trampled on" a very important part of copyright law: fair use. You have the right to lend or copy parts of any paper-and-glue book you own, but you can't do the same with an e-book without the express permission of the publisher.

So many security systems and cryptographic keys are being developed to lock up your favorite authors, it would make your head spin to list them...
...deliberately make itself unreadable at a given moment - no matter the reason - will have a disturbing, Farenheit 451-ish quality to it. Luckily, there's still an invention that will let you read the same book at no charge for two or three weeks, during which time you can lend it to as many friends and copy down as many passages as you wish: the public library. But how long such a quaintly uncommercial institution survives is entirely up to you, dear reader...
