backNice post by Lessig Lawrence Lessig has a nice post (link here) on his blog -- and given how busy he's been lately, new posts are always welcome -- on the frequent disconnect between free market ideologues and network neutrality proponents over what could possibly be wrong with letting the big telecoms and cable companies have control over not just prices but content on the internet. In this case, the culprit is AT&T and their censoring of Pearl Jam. [Posted at 08/13/2007 04:49 PM by Stephen Spear on Blocking Technology Comments
Given Lessig has been a strong proponent of copyright (whilst fooling many he's against it), he's no doubt also a strong proponent of network regulation (whilst fooling many he's against it).
[Comment at 08/14/2007 01:58 AM by Crosbie Fitch] Moral right to integrity? Is that related to the right to truth? [Comment at 08/14/2007 07:09 AM by Kid] Truth in attribution, yes.
It is a falsehood to present an artist's work as their work if it has been modified without their consent (to adopt the modification as their own). Of course, there's nothing intrinsically untruthful in creating an unauthorised derivative of an artist's work, but it must be made quite clear that it is not their work (nor has been endorsed by them). And 'clear' isn't smallprint at the bottom of some obscure 'terms of service'.
