Lessig's Thoughts On Eldred v. Ashcroft Arguments

yokem_55 writes "Lawrence Lessig has updated his blog giving his thoughts on how the oral arguments for Eldred vs. Ashcroft went before the Supreme Court on Wednesday. He discusses the goals and methods he used in framing his arguments to convince the court to overturn the Sony Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, how he felt he did in presenting his arguments, and also provides some analysis on how he thinks the court might rule."

You called your comment "The problem with Lessing (sic)" (It's "Lessig"). You said we shouldn't abolish copyrights, but instead just limit them to 20-30 years.

Lessig himself calls for limited copyrights, not abolishing them. You are actually in complete agreement with him.

So what again is the problem with Lessig?

Unless you were trying to validate the Ayn Rand Institute's libelous assertion that proponents of the public domain are just thieves and vandals, perhaps you could've settled for a link.
