Letter to Your Governor
Dear Governor:
I am deeply concerned about the proposed new addition to the
Uniform Commercial Code, Article 2B.
[Include any of the following:]
- This draft law is unfair to customers.
- It is unfair to independent software developers.
- It is unfair to freelance writers.
- It expands intellectual property rights in ways that will
limit competition and interfere with the growth of small software
startups.
- It expands intellectual property rights in ways that will
make research much more expensive and drive the costs of public
and university libraries much higher.
- It will result in lower quality software and will weaken
our international competitive position.
Please let me know what you are doing to oppose the enactment
of this law in our state, and what I can do to help you in that.
Yours truly
Please copy the letter to Gene Lebrun, President, NCCUSL, 211
E. Ontario Street, Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60611, and to Geoffrey
Hazard, Executive Director, American Law Institute, 4025 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

I took care to ensure that they were well researched at the time
that I wrote them, but the law changes quickly. By the time you
read this material, it may be out of date. Also, the laws of the
different States are not the same. These discussions might not
apply to your circumstances. Please do not take legal action on
the basis of what you read here, without consulting your own attorney.
