Technology Liberation Front: Lessig’s call for a “simple blanket license” in Remix

    If you are interested in this subject, I also recommend that you read "What's Wrong with ISP Music Licensing" by copyright gurus Chris Castle and Amy Mitchell.

    Thanks for the paper by Castle and Mitchell.

    That is one of the things that disappoints me about Lessig is that while he generally has the right idea regarding the remix culture, copyrights, and other IP issues, the solutions he offers almost always require state coercion to make it work!

    I currently reading "The Future of Ideas" and I find myself nodding in agreement for most of it, but then uttering, "God damn it, Lessig" and shaking my head at yet another governmental solution.

    Sigh.
