I am extremely pleased to see that Prof. Michael Watkins of the Harvard Business School has begun a weblog on the Harvard blogs server. He plans to comment on “world events on weekdays” — a very sound policy and a great topic for blogging. This university revolves around its faculty, in many respects, and having faculty willing to try out weblogs is fantastic.
Prof. Lessig’s got a very interesting quote, courtesy of Glenn Brown, from back when the recording industry, back in 1967, was trying to *retain* a compulsory licensing system. Cf. Terry Fisher’s draft chapter 6, “An Alternative Compensation System.”
He gets the story just right. I admit that I was secretly pleased to see a new posting in August to Copyfight despite the fact that Donna’s supposed to have some time off between Berkman and EFF!
