I Just had to post this quote from Scott Turow’s stunning New York Time’s Op-ed.
“The Constitution’s framers had it right. Soviet-style repression is not necessary to diminish authors’ output and influence. Just devalue their copyrights.”
Read the whole article here:
The Trichordist 
Another good one,
“Thus, under the cri de coeur that “information wants to be free,” some professors and others are calling for copyright to be curtailed or even abandoned. High-minded slogans aside, these academics are simply promoting their own careers over the livelihoods of other writers.”
It will be interesting to see if this subject will be taken more seriously or become more popular when talking about authors instead of musicians. Either way now I can aim to educate my writer friends too thereby opening up new channels on which to spread the message.
Very well written, interesting and easy to understand article.
