Cato on Dean’s Internet Collectivism
In the latest TechKnowledge Newsletter, Adam Thierer of the Cato Institute attacks the “collectivist” position on Internet regulation. It’s a pretty good piece. I disagree vehemently with every conclusion Thierer comes to, but I don’t think he misstates the “Dean/Copps/Lessig” position that badly; he just makes it sound vaguely pinko, which it’s not.
Strip out the slanted language (“They want to water down IP rights and greatly expand fair use rights and the public domain.”), and this piece makes a great argument for why the Slashdot crowd should vote for Dean.
