An end run round copyright laws?
,----[ Quote ]
| What Linux has done for operating systems, the Internet should do
| for content, a prominent lawyer and activist urged Tuesday.
|
| [...]
|
| Stanford Law School professor Lessig noted that Department of Justice
| lawyers attacking Microsoft for its Windows monopoly fixated on IBM's
| vanquished rival, OS/2. But Linux showed that decentralized,
| nonproprietary operating systems were viable, he said.
|
| [...]
|
| Linux has demonstrated that it's possible to build operating systems
| and software that lets customers bypass Microsoft's control. The
| Creative Commons, Lessig hopes, will do the same in letting people
| exchange content without reliance on entrenched media powers.
