Ohio law requires new drivers under the age of 18 to complete a state-approved driver education course consisting of “a minimum of 24 hours of classroom instruction and 8 hours behind the wheel.” So it should come as no surprise that there are a host of private companies providing state-approved driver training.

Watch Importation, Copyright, and the First-Sale Doctrine The “Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m” wristwatch. In Cutting edges , blogger Peter Gordon relates a fascinating case where Swiss watchmaker Omega found a brilliantly evil trick using IP law to crack down on innocent market activity.

Ted Frank of the Center for Class Action Fairness reports that a federal court has certified an antitrust class action brought on behalf of all iPhone owners—alleging Apple’s exclusive deal with AT&T illegally monopolizes the market for “iPhone telephone service.” Frank notes this is a mandatory class, “meaning that every iPhone owner with an AT&T Mobility two-year contract is now involuntarily represented by attorneys that apparently care more about the possibility of extortionate settlement profit than the clients they purportedly represent.” Frank is looking for an economic expert to refute this “quack antitrust analysis” on the record as part of an effort to decertify the class.

Berin Szoka , a self-described “cyber-libertarian” attorney who works for the DC-based Progress and Freedom Foundation, felt it necessary to backpedal recently on his criticism of the Federal Trade Commission. Szoka wrote on July 13 that he and his PFF colleagues are “actually big fans of the FTC’s core consumer protection mission: holding companies to their promises ” (italics his). Szoka said the FTC needs “increased funding”—though not necessarily “increased powers”—to stay true to this core mission

Of course nobody knows how many jobs will actually be lost as a result of the government’s deficit reduction measures. All sorts of figures are being bandied around but at the end of the day the only thing that matters it that it will be a lot of jobs, and each job lost will create a crisis for a particular individual.

I am of course very pleased by this review of my book by Robert Wenzel, with whom I had various debates over IP – one of which led to explosive results. So it is kind of him to say these nice things. There are indeed several chapters that explore the issue of IP, which I’m increasingly regarding as a mere application of a larger principle that is becoming clearer to libertarians today: the role of learning in the formation of social order.
