Here's what I've done. I've developed lots of new ideas and not patented any of them. Does this get me any help from Lessig? No. Yet that's the most any developer can do. He's so focused on Microsoft and open source, misses everything else. He's not much of a leader. How about a conservancy for developers who don't take patents. Get people intellectual credit for their creations to balance the proprietary credit they are not demanding. Lessig is so damned irritating. He says "We've not done anything yet." Arrrrgh. Incorrect. He's not done anything yet. Perhaps his friends haven't done anything yet. Does Dr Lessig understand technology any better than Rep Coble? [Scripting News]

 That has to count for something!
