P2P and the Press

Here's a Lessig friendly piece on Eldred vs. Ashcroft in Businessweek, of all things, as well as a note saying Berman and Coble (sponsors of the Media Cartel Vigilante bill) are surprised there's opposition. Perhaps the start of this New Yorker piece sums it up best -- public-interest unfriendly legislation happens because the public generally shows no interest. Pre-Internet, it would be hard to organize folks interested in protecting the Internet, and tracking hostile legislation.
