In classic Declan style, a storm rages on Declan's list about a quote of mine that ran in the Economist. Declan read the article and concluded from it that "Lessig wants to preserve freedom by ending anonymity" and so of course, his list, and my inbox, raged with the outrage at such a thought. But what no one seems to have taken time to do is actually look at the article. For Declan's statement has no relation to anything the article actually says. Declan is a brilliant writer, and excellent pundit. But he is more a bomb thrower than a careful reader. His readers should keep this in mind. Larry Lessig on 'The Classic Declan' |
