Lessig On Free Content, Copyright

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the free-as-in-beer dept.

Glyn Moody writes "In an interview with the Guardian, Lawrence Lessig explains exactly how he'd like copyright reformed, and has this to say about free content: 'I think it's going to be a more significant movement than the free software movement because whatever the importance of the freedom of coders, coders will still be just a tiny proportion of the public, but culture is ... much broader.'"

    Mazrim Taim was Demandred, Jordan got called out on it, and changed it.

    I stopped reading after it was apparent he'd lost total control of his book (ok well past that since I got through Lord of Chaos) and started tap dancing on the Demandred thing.

    George R.R. Martin, now that's an author! Jordan's just a wannabe Tolkien who won't let his characters fuck.

    is it too much to ask that /. editors actually edit the summaries a BIT? You know, to at LEAST have something like the follow:

    "In an interview with the Guardian, Lawrence Lessig - a few words on why the heck I should care what this prune has to say - explains.."

    I'm typically a very patient and forgiving guy, but it seems like over the last few months this has gotten worse and worse.
