Hello. I have a writing assignment. The prompt is:

Consider the selections by Tomar and Yang. Articulate the authors’ motivating questions and summarize their arguments. Be sure to discuss the claims they are making regarding intellectual property, as well as how these claims are used to critique the academy. What principles would these writers use to determine ownership? How do these principles resonate or challenge the principles raised by Gladwell and Widdicombe?
