Lessig Revises Book With Public Wiki
Silent_E writes "Always wanted to see your words in print?
The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Lawrence Lessig is revising his book 'Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace' using a wiki-based, public discussion. The proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated. . All royalties are going to Creative Commons, plus the advance. "
Always wanted to see your words in print?
Mine are, usually after "How do you plea?"
Trolling is a art,
This is like the domino effect. If America gives up property ownership in some cases, then the rest of property ownership will fall. We know what this means ... Communism !!!
Slashdot does count as "print", doesn't it?
Have you read my blog lately?
I can see the title of their chapter "Downloaders are dirty thieves."
It's just an extension of the childhood game where you write a word on a piece of paper, fold it over, and pass it along, purple monkey dishwasher.
Author's name should be revised to ..... Anonymous Coward
I think you have a freaking best seller on your hand there.
>I can see the title of their chapter "Downloaders are PENIS dirty thieves."
I laughed. I cried. I tore out the pages and used them for toilet paper.
If you're interested in reading it for yourself, you are welcome to my copy.
Looks like they've only been sure about the version numbering in the toolbar on the right: "CODE v2" ... (which would be a strange kind of follow-up to a highly successful v1.0)
Everywhere else, with the strange notation of "Code v.2" it looks like this is about trying to write a work that will never make it out of beta, stalling at v0.2
You just might be. If you have your text to speech thingy going, and the voice recognition going too, you'll regret letting it read rm -rf ~/
See what I've been reading.
Shouldn't that be, "Public revises book with Lawrence Lessig" or better yet, "Lawrence Lessig Invites Public to Edit Book."
:D
The way they write headlines around here, you'd think Public is some fancy new ncurses based word processor

Perhaps not the same, but quite cool. I can imagine that when another edition comes out, he'll put the corrections in, and perhaps (if he's honest) he'll put in a special page of acknoweldgements to anonymous coward, byte me, etc!
