I’m betting this scene was one of those “wish I was there” moments.
How about a caption contest? Here’s my best shot:
Lessig: You have absolutely no clue how to properly research a thesis and position it within the context of a world bent on taking what is available through the advancement of technology. Millions of people stand on the balls of their feet each day to reach a counter on which our culture leave bits of data dangling for use, whether on purpose or not, and all you can say is that I “laud the appropriation of intellectual property.”
All I have ever espoused for is that our society curbs the availability of “illegal” intellectual property by simultaneous expanding the choice in copyright and the ease in which both creative people and corporations alike can assign such options.
Keen: Heh… he said “balls.”
Feel free to leave your attempt in the comments.
Seriously, folks, we’re two years into this crap that Keen floats as intellectual discourse. Can we please just call a spade a spade (or call an opportunist an opportunist) and move on?
