Here’s Richard Koman’s great interview with Lawrence Lessig about intellectual property law and innovation.

As originally designed, the Internet remained simple, by pushing innovation to the edges of the network and without regard to threats posed to the mainstream entertainment and content industries. Lessig points out that new developments (both legal and technical) have served to undermine this innovation, making it easier for copyright hoarders to control information and experiences.

Well worth the read.
