Felten Interview on Slashdot
I’ve made it a rule to avoid linking to stories if those stories have already been linked to by Slashdot; I guess I figure that everybody reads Slashdot already, so what would be the point?
But in fact I’ve become kind of spotty in my own visitations to Slashdot lately, so, paradoxically, I guess I’m feeling more free to duplicate their links. This would kind of be a special case, anyway, since it’s not a link they’re running that I want to point to, but their own content. Specfically, their interview with Prof. Edward Felten. Felten’s remarks on (mostly) how to deal with Washington in avoiding stupid legislation like the DMCA are actually really good, and resonate with me as I become increasingly interested in how to deal with Washington in general, not just on stupid tech laws.
