To help you evaluate this argument, you should look at the legal definitions of 'copyright' and 'patent' as given at Position Paper 4: Copyright and Patent.
This means, of course, that you have to evaluate each premise and each (sub-)argument, and, as usual, I also want you to evaluate the conclusion independently of whether you think that it follows validly or doesn't follow validly from its premises.
Instead of writing a first draft of your paper, I simply want you to fill in the Position Paper 4 "Thinksheet", which will be an outline of your argument analysis.
You will write the paper after peer-editing the thinksheets.
As before, no abstract is needed for this position paper, but you do need to give full citations to any sources that you cite.
