Intellectual Property, Cyberspace and Blogs

The latest scoop on intellectual property can be read in Professor Lawrence Lessig's blog
Please also note that Richard A. Posner has been a guest blogger in Lessig Blog (his entries are thought provoking).

There's controversy swirling around the appointment of Bruce Lehman as the Kerry Campaign advisor on IP Policy. Lehman's policies could affect you as a blogger, as a writer, and as a user of modern technology because he kowtows only to big, mega-buck, multi-national companies in terms of copyright legislation (with questions concerning "Fair Use" and the Public Domain among other issues) and the use of technology.

Lately Lessig's blog has been devoted to IP extremism.
Lawrence Lessig is a fascinating writer on copyright, intellectual property, and technology.

Rhianna regrets that someone like Bruce Lehman is an advisor on one of Kerry's committees. Lessig himself wrote:

"Lehman’s policies did more to encourage the war on technology that these past 8 years have seen than anyone else in DC. Let him serve on the 'last century protectionists' committee. Indeed, make him the chair."
