Copyright Published in the Lessig log, Stanford law professor (and my all time favourite pessimist) Lawrence Lessig addresses issues raised in response to his OSCON 2002 talk. In particular Lessig replies to Dave Winer's criticism of Lessig:



'When I said at OSCON that "We've done nothing yet," what I meant (and I thought this was obvious) is that we've done nothing politically yet. We have yet to build a political movement to resist those who would use law to kill what you, and others, built when you, and others, built the net. That claim I still stand behind. There is no political movement that has punished, the way democracies punish, the likes of Berman, et al. And there's no political movement yet that adequately rewards the likes of Boucher, Cannon, and Hank Perritt.'

Also - do not miss my favourite Lessigesque part:

'You're right: I'm not old enough to remember the "revolution" of the 60s; just old enough to remember that Nixon was president when the 60s ended.'
