A Copyfighter’s Musings

Joe Gratz live–blogged the recent Cultural Environmentalism at 10 conference. He’s also provided a handy link guide to commentary from Rebecca Tushnet, who was also a presenter.  Commenting from afar, Mike Madison throws in his two cents.

PFF published a silly article by Stan Leibowitz entitled “Parasite Technologies and Non-Creative Destruction.”  So silly, in fact, that Adam Thierer takes it to task on PFF’s blog, while Tom Giovanetti criticizes it over at IP blog, a site that “cover[s] developments in intellectual property
protection from a property-rights, pro-market orientation.” Tim Lee has more. James Delong offers a defense – my favorite part is when he talks about copyright holders agreeing “not to put [TiVo] out of business” because it limited its commercial skip feature (yeah, they just ran to the FCC and Congress to cripple the device in every way possible).
