great post from lessig, theknife, thanks for the heads-up.
after finishing his book i was pleased to see him in front of the us supreme court arguing for actual limits, even if he feels he's not up to the task. the internet is i feel at least as important as gutenberg - if not more so, and must not be co-opted any longer by commercial special interests.
after reading his post and the following line -
"
Please, in the spirit of the best of this sphere, carry these arguments along, and correct the many mistakes I have made. But I need a night when the limits of this lawyer don't keep this lawyer awake." i realized what a wonderful and modest man he is as well.
from peer-to-peer to webcasting and the dmca to television, this is the first of many crucial and important copyright fights to come, but regardless of those outcomes it's a fine thing being surrounded by so many astonishing individuals, ones who care so deeply about the rights of all people to communicate amongst themselves.
