This might be slightly old news, but it's very worthwhile. The following is a *long* Q & A where Lessig addresses much (which should be) topical for this list:

Lawrence Lessig Answers Your Questions http://slashdot.org/interviews/01/12/21/155221.shtml

Highly recommended. I wanted to stand up and cheer at certain parts.

"Yet these debates about freedom get bogged down on these pages. And this leads me to the greatest pessimism: If you guys don't get the importance of neutral and open platforms to innovation and creativity; if you get bogged down in 20th century debates about libertarianism and property rights; if you can't see how the .commons was critical to the .com revolution, then what do expect from judges?

You guys (not Howard Roark) built an architecture of value. Until you can begin to talk about those values, and translate them for others, courts and policy makers generally will never get it."
