Abstract :
Greg Aharonian, an IEEE intellectual property activist, describes himself as a "champion of the American public\´s interests" in the patent and copyright systems. In carrying out this self-assigned role, he sued US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in US district court in San Francisco for a declaratory judgment. Aharonian wanted the court to declare that copyright law cannot legally be applied to protect computer source code. The court disagreed and dismissed his case
