I’ve been participating in a Slashdot Discussion today which contrasts well-known civil liberties advocate and scholar Lawrence Lessig against an RIAA representative discussing copyright. As a proponent of balanced copyright (what we have today is considerably unbalanced, in my humble opinion), this article fascinated me to get a glimpse of Lessig’s opinions and those of the recording industry. One of my favorite Lessig quotes is “Record companies value their artists in the same sense that cattle ranchers value their cattle.” Or something like that 🙂 Anyway, read more for snippets of discussion I found interesting and thought-provoking…
