The copyright wars: Lessig vs. Epstein

By David Rothman

The People Own Ideas (Lawrence Lessig) and The Creators Own Ideas (Richard A. Epstein) give the two respective sites of the copyright wars. From MIT Technology Review. (Thanks to Lori Watrous-deVersterre.)

Note: I may be adding a little commentary to this item in the next day or so. Epstein amazes me with his statement that “DRM is no more threatening to free culture than metered phone calls.” Even some DRM stalwarts might well take issue with that.
