Content  Market

Professor Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School

Lessig:

If synthesize technology, law and market together you may see a change in the market otherwise not seen directly.

You are now ready to be “brainwashed” to accept this concept of free culture (ok, he’s jokin)

Free markets, free will, free willie…

But we are not saying free in terms of cost but in terms of characterization of the ecosystem (free trade vs free beer)

Am not endorsing world where artists don’t get paid  [more]

In our structuring of the material in this course, Yochai layed out three layers.  Yesterday we focused on physical and logical.  Today we focus on content.

Today we will walk thru the scope of tech affecting content, the law affecting content, and the market affecting content.

Nesson:

Want to introduce to you some examples of downloading and the problems they present, and some of the responses that have been articulated.   [more]

Bloggers blogging about conference blogging

Sebastien Fiedler is thinking about whether blogging a conference distracts from the blogger's conference experience.  Mathemagenic echos his concern.  And, Pressepapier wonders if someone would not get the same education value from attending the ILAW confernce by reading the blogging accounts.

Taking notes and participating is a multi-task activity -- but to each his own.  And, while I think notes (whether blogged or not) always have educational value -- they certainly don't capture the face-to-face nuances and the interpersonal interaction.  That is why asynchronous learning technologies, I believe, will always be more effective if used in conjunction with personal instruction rather in the place of personal instruction.

By the way, Pressepaper discloses the secret to Lessig's font selection.  I was wondering about the same question...

New thing or new clothing?

One the the Dean volunteers is here at ILAW and told us of the use they are making of tools, like blogs, to facilitate the grassroots.  The tool is new -- the concept is still the same as when index cards and precinct captains existed.  Get close to the people and make them feel involved.

Old Jones, New Politics.

I hate to admit that I still don't know shit about Howard Dean, even though I have lots of friends who do and are crazy about the guy. What I do know is that the Net roots movement behind him is a freaking jihad.

When I read stuff like this and this I want to play an old song.

Here's the deal with Dean: It's about the money. Follow it. Where does it come from? Not the usual suspects. There are too damn many of None of the Above. Instead, he owes The Roots.

This is a New Thing. And they don't know what it is.

I love it.

New mantra: It's The Roots, Stupid.

By the way, there are plenty of Net roots behind Dubya too. Don't discount them.
