Lessig On IP Protection, Conflict

cdlu writes "According to NewsForge [part of OSDN, like Slashdot], Stanford University law professor, author, and Creative Commons chairman Lawrence Lessig sharpened the definition of the ongoing legal struggle over intellectual property while talking at the Open Source Business Conference on Tuesday. According to Lessig: 'Contrary to what many people see as a cultural war between conservative business types and liberal independents, this is not a 'commerce versus anything' conflict. It's about powerful (business) interests and if they can stop new innovators'."

This Lessig guy is smoking something potent

Look at Russia or China for example. Nobody gives a shit about IP over there for the most part. So the innovation should bloom over there, right? WRONG! There is NO software market in these countries. So please try your laws on lab mice first. The job situation in the US is bad already, don't fuck it up even more by your stupid propaganda.
