Lessig Spins Copyright Law

ceebABC writes "In the always riveting CIO Insight magazine, tech-pundit (and professor) Lawrence Lessig examines the copyright laws and how they can be applied to e-books and other electronic forms of rights management... i.e., in today's world, the author doesn't receive a royalty everytime someone reads a book from the library. Will they in the future?"

  4. Who vs Whom by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Use "Who" when the person is known. For example:
    Jack, who likes to spank his monkey, copped a feel of my monkey.

    Use "Whom" when the person is question is not known. For example:

    I can loan it to whomever I want.
    or
    The idea can remain the writer's or whomever came up with it and copyrighted it, but the book is mine.
    or
    I want to know whom it was that copped feel of my monkey.

    Notice that the blurb for this Slashdot article reads:

    >In the always riveting CIO
    >Insight magazine, tech-pundit (and professor)

    This is probably the order of importance which Lessig think of himself. Especially, "professor" LAST.

    He probably gets paid $100,000 to be a Stanford professor. I wonder how much teaching the guy is actually doing. He sure seems to be generating a lot of press for himself lately.

    Think he grades any papers? Oh, no, he's probably too important for that.

    You can call this a "troll" if you want. Doesn't change the facts, does it?
