Lawrence Lessig Answers Your Questions In this important Slashdot thread, Lawrence Lessig - the author of The Future of Ideas - answers questions posed by members of the open source community. Lessig challenges members to show how the internet's open architecture produced new creations and complained that the open source movement is more adept at petty quarrels than concrete action. Lessig also advanced some telling arguments against current copyright legislation: "In 1930, there were 10,027 books published. Today, 174 of those books are still in print. Yet it would be illegal because of copyright law for Michael Hart of Project Gutenberg to take those 9,853 books not in print and make them available on the Internet for free ."
