Lessig Blog, v3: Ok, so f*ck it. I'm back.  →
lessig: Twenty-seven months ago, I announced the hibernation of my blog. It is with deep deep embarrassment that I confess that for about the last 24 of those 27 months, I have been trying to find a way back. The latest of these efforts has again failed, but I am not going to wait any more. I want a… Attention, Tumblr. Lawrence Lessig is now on Tumblr. Begin reblogging on my command.

I Believe In The Internet - The Content Industry...
bradburnham: I have always believed that the entertainment industry’s effort to stop piracy by asking search engines and ISPs to make it more difficult for their users to find pirate sites was the wrong way to solve the problem, but it could never put my finger on why I felt so strongly about it.

Newsweek Kills Longtime Political Series. →
This was Newsweek’s election project, where the magazine assigned reporters to follow presidential candidates around for the election season. Because the reporters promise not to reveal anything they see until after the election, they get amazing access, and have in the past produced outstanding work. Really sorry to see this go.
