Prior to posting my blogs via Radio, I used the Twiki software to blog on my tedroche.com site, where I’ve also got a knowledgebase of SourceSafe stuff and a business card-sized web site.

Doc Searls points out Larry Lessig’s New York Tome’s op-ed column, “Protecting Mickey Mouse at Art’s Expense” in Lessig is More and emphasizes a portion of the column where Lessig proposes a fee for extending a copyright, similar to the current patent system.

But it could bring back these works in accessible form to our culture.
