Right on the Tail of Lessig

By John Locke on February 28, 2005

Right after yesterday's post about Lessig's interview at O'Reilly, Chris Anderson, editor of Wired, has written a piece contradicting Lessig's belief that most creative works should not be copyrighted.

I've been reading Anderson's blog, The Long Tail, since he started it. Last fall, Anderson wrote an essay about the changing economics at the "small" end of the distribution curve of products such as books and videos. The original essay is published at Change This as a manifesto in PDF format--check it out.

Read Anderson's take on Lessig in The Long Tail vs. Lessig.
