Case Studies:
1. Two professors suggested that software is a “public good”
(like public schools and national defense), that we should allow
anyone to copy it, and that the federal government should
subsidize it. Suppose this proposal, made in the 1990s, had been
adopted. How well do you think it would have worked? How
would it have affected the quantity and quality of software
produced? Give reasons.
2. A bill introduced in the New York legislature would require
that drivers involved in a car crash give their phone to police so

3. that the police can check whether the driver was using the
