| On September 1st 2003 the European Parliment will make a   |

| Unlike copyright, patents can block independent creations! |
| Software patents can render software copyright useless.    |
| One copyrighted work can be covered by hundreds of patents |

| infringement he and his users can be sued.  Some of these  |
| patents may be impossible to work around, because they are |
