At last

Finally got a chance to finish Lessig's 'Future of Ideas'. An impressive piece of work, surveying the technology, the public policy framework and the legal background. I had started it before Eldred / Ashcroft was pronounced so clearly in favour of extending copyrights, and that aspect made for stark rereading. Lessig is fairly pessimistic, and I'm afraid he may be correct.
