I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.
Re: Free vs. Free
by tim_aldrich
A point Lessig makes particularly well (I went to his RSA lecture a few months back) is that this confusion about free is due to very recent change in how humans use ideas. Until the last century this discussion would have been unthinkable because to understand the need for content to be free you need to conceive of it being locked up, something pretty unthinkable before the 19th and 20th centuries.
