Comments on: TED: Larry Lessig’s read-only culture http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071109/ted-larry-lessig-copyright/ All the stuff about Microsoft and technology you haven't read anywhere else. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:21:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bob http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071109/ted-larry-lessig-copyright/#comment-129063 Bob Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:54:56 +0000 http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071109/ted-larry-lessig-copyright/#comment-129063 That's why you got people going back to carrying Minidisc rather than iPod. Because the iPod is a read-only tool for a read-only culture. While Minidisc is a player and a recorder, that lets you put files, music and record using PCM (no lossy compression, no compression at all). A portable recorder you carry everywhere, to get back the read-write culture. People said it was dead, and it's still there. They said the same thing about vinyl discs. Strange how in every big capital city in the world we got shops with vinyl disks and DJs coming from all around the world there huh...

Brilliant but where is the discussion for how to legalize the controlled part and enforce that against the actual openness of the tech? Grizz, the humor shows the intensity of freedom and there is no way to assume common sense will begin to win--things just don't happen, especially in law, they originate through deliberate decisions. I gave up predicting the future long ago, you should consider doing the same, it is reality. Time, our one irreplaceable resource. This is one of the best and briefest summaries of modern digital financial issues I've seen. Now to get my reflexes as fast as my kids', same for the lawyers and lobbyists to accomplish and after this, hope and Souza rule. Wonderful and very true.

I would have used more serious examples. I agree with his summery in the end, that this is a time of prohibitions. And the "big evil" recording company that labels us as criminals will loose in the long run. As this generation of P2P fans grow up and fill the shoes of business and government.
