Last night my mom wanted to see Michael Jackson moonwalk again, so I called up the blog post where I’d embedded a YouTube clip from his legendary Motown performance in 1983. Alas, it was gone.<\/p>\n

So instead, we educated ourselves about copyright law:<\/p>\n

Later I replaced the Jackson performance with someone else’s upload of the same clip and wondered (again) where all this was leading. Where is the line between the need for money and the need for social good, between what is mine and what is ours, living in a cooperative society as we do?<\/p>\n

Seriously, I know I can be seen as a bit left when it comes to taking sides in this great debate, what with my love of Creative Commons and positive readings of Lessig and remix culture in general–not that I have completely consumed the Kool-Aid, but just sayin’. Still, especially after our Remix book club convo<\/a> a few months back, I have been keeping an eye out for a similar book taking the “other” side, or at least “another” side. I thought Mark Helprin’s Digital Barbarism<\/i> might have made for a good choice, but then I thought maybe not<\/a>. (Has anyone read it?) Chris Anderson’s new book, “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” is of course not the direction I was looking to go this time out, though I’ll be interested in digging into that one for myself at a later date (Gladwell reviews it for the New Yorker<\/i> here<\/a>). <\/p>\n

I have also been keeping tabs on such things as the orphaned works\/Google issue<\/a> and the ASCAP ringtones public performance suit<\/a>, but still haven’t come across a good book arguing the benefits of strict copyright control and the future, etc. Anyone have suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
