"Larry Lessig fought the copyright bullies.  All the way to the Supreme Court.  And he lost.  That's kind of like going to spring training with the Yankees and not making the team.  It puts you through the bends.  But Larry hasn't retired, he's just addressing the issues from a different vantage point.  He believes fighting the battle in court, or in Congress, is futile.  He believes in a private solution. Intelligence used to be revered.   Now it's solely how much money you have.  How you made it is irrelevant.  You're rich, you're a big swinging dick!  And I'm not going to condemn all rich people.  But too many times, they end up being bullies, not addressing the issues, only protecting their turf.  Buying Congressmen, never mind creating a separate society." ~ Lefsetz
