What are the new happenings in today’s music and movie scene?…

Lessig has also not the slightest clue about campaigning and believes in corruption. So better leave advocacy to the professionals.

Ben wake up dude you gonna be great one day and i hope in time to lend an assist to the cause here in hand

Mr. Norton should’ve paid more attention in school. In criticizing the party’s name, Lessig is not judging the “book” (i.e. the party’s platform) by its “cover” (i.e. its name). He’s simply pointing out that the name will hurt them. Stating that says nothing about the worth of the party’s platform.

Also from the article: “It’s also unusual that the man that fought Hollywood’s increase of copyright, should find fault with a party that only seeks to represent the general public”.

Mr. Norton seems to be under the impression that if one agrees with one aspect of a political party one must agree with all aspects of it and never criticize it. I guess in addition to the class that discussed proverbs, he missed the one that talked about logical fallacies too.

I have a question for him though: if you really believe in what your party stands for and wants to achieve then do you really think it makes sense to lob baseless criticisms at one of the most experienced and most respected copyright analysts in the country just because he criticized your party’s *name*? Based on that, I’m tempted to go further than Lessig and wonder whether it’s not only the name that’s problematic. Even if the contents of the book are okay, there definitely seems to be some issues with its author.

Ever since then, he’s just a Elvis-like Super-imposed video. Using green-screen technology, he appears every 4 or 8 years on current-events programming.

The tell-tale sign is that repeats the same stuff over and over. The whole conspiracy is carefully Republican controlled. They march him out just enough to split the democrats’ votes, but not enough to actually win — lest the public learn that he’s not alive.

Naturally, the Pirate Party of the US disagrees. “As a professor, he should know better than to advocate judging a book by it’s cover” says Andrew Norton, head of the US Pirate Party.[/quote]

Andrew, stop downloading movies and learn to read. Lessig wasn’t judging the book, he was judging the cover.

As someone asked “Could someone please explain the difference between an illegitimate pirate and a legit one?”

A bad pirate is like a thief. A good pirate is like Robbin Hood.
