Technology Liberation Front: $0.00 — The Abundance of Nothing — Free! vs. Free Culture

    Bret, have you read Free Culture? I've read it twice and I don't remember it demonizing either property or profits. If you've got a copy handy I'd be interested in an example.

    Tim,

    I started writing this reply to your comment and then realized you expanded in another post above.

    Anyway, I was using Free Culture as a broad description of Lessig's overall worldview, which includes all sorts of progressive and "quasi-socialist" impositions. I agree there was much in Free Culture, the book, to educate and even to applaud. Perhaps I should have clarified.

    The point was to distinguish between Anderson's Free! and Lessig's views, which many people might know generally and broadly label Free Culture.

    Best,

    Bret
