[FC-discuss] Free culture or "digital barbarism"? A novelist on copyright

[Ryan Prior]

Hey Gabe,

Here are a few more links for you:

Larry responds to Helprin and then to further accusations of
"socialism" as a goal of Free Culture:

NPR reprints (with permission) chapter 5 for review and debate:

Plagarism Today's harsh review, calling it "wasted pages...petty
insults...flawed arguments":

So yeah, the book probably caused a great deal more writers to take
closer look at FC, and many of them (those with blogs or online
columns anyway) tended to like what they saw, rejecting Digital
Barbarism's claims. Larry's retort was, even if a bit emotional and
defensive, very complete and comprehensive.


Cheers,
Ryan
