I’m an attorney working pro bono on this case. This is about free speech under attack. This is about a blogger under attack. This is about fair use, as that term is employed in copyright issues on the net, under attack

Please consider learning more about this case and if, after you do, you so desire, speak out about what is going on here. Thank you

Fair enough – but as I was going to spell out when I do the seminar, the whole thing will be available under Creative Commons. Which is to say that if you want to do yer own remix which includes your essay and redistribute it, then you’ll be perfectly entitled to do so. And the burden of the Benkler book’s argument isn’t that conversation is completely unstructured – but rather that it’s possible for others to use and re-use and cultural materials as they want. Which is what we’ll be doing here, we think! But I know that you disagree with Yochai and me on all of this – look forward to seeing what you have to say at greater length.

… to link selectively from the seminar to posts on other blogs that seriously get involved in the conversation …

There is re-intermediation!

[Sorry, I know your intentions are good, and, err, “democratic” – but I couldn’t resist a bit of waggery on the topic.]
