ArielX discovered 46 months ago- From the page: "The Internet revolution has come. Some say it has gone. What was responsible for its birth? Who is responsible for its demise? In The Future of Ideas, Lawrence Lessig explains how the Internet revolution has produced a counterrevolution of devastating power and effect. The explosion of innovation we have seen in the environment of the Internet was not conjured from some new, previously unimagined technological magic; instead, it came from an ideal as old as the nation. Creativity flourished there because the Internet protected an innovation commons. The Internet's very design built a neutral platform upon which the widest range of creators could experiment. The legal architecture surrounding it protected this free space so that culture and information-the ideas of our era-could flow freely and inspire an unprecedented breadth of expression. But this structural design is changing-both legally and technically. "

- From the page: "the Internet, transforming it from an open forum for ideas into nothing more than cable television on speed."

- How Corporate interests (which essentially decide the law governing people) are lobotomizing collective consciousness. Nice job, Lessig, but the solution isn't in words, it's in a paradigm higher than words, wordless actions.

- Oops, I thumbed it to early. I meant to say that it sounds interesting... I've always been grateful that the Internet became The Network and not some private enterprise's service. Now that we're used to the freedom, I wonder how "they" might manage to take it away from us. Maybe we'll just enslave ourselves by downloading so-called free software and become to depend on it?
