Arguing Against Perpetual Copyright
A Links entry from Monday, May 21, 2007Arguing Against Perpetual Copyright
In response to a New York Times Op-Ed piece by Mark Helprin, A Great Idea Lives Forever. Shouldn’t Its Copyright?, thousands of despondent readers pleaded with Stanford University law professor, chairman of the Creative Commons and all-around Web 2.0 Deus ex Machina, Lawrence Lessig, to write a devastating rebuttal. Rather than writing a formal response to the Times, however, Lessig, as noted in his blog, setup a Wiki where the users could write their own response. The result is fairly amazing. (Thanks to The Lede.)
