Tech policy obviously isn't very important to Obama or he couldn't have chosen Biden to be his running mate. So it's as I suspected, the Obama campaign got Lessig and Danny Weitzner to write a tech policy they don't intend to implement.

This should make the bidness interests more comfortable with Obama.

I agree Mike, I was too nice. I should say "abysmal" or "horrible" in regards to Biden's record.

"Spotty" is a very inappropriately nice way of putting it. Unless the man is an agent provocateur for libertarianism, he's the sort of VP that should make most libertarians shake their heads at Obama as a serious candidate.
