[This one is a must read. A stout defence of copyright and a critique of
Lessig; all with decent arguments. Robert Levine, in this interview,
thinks term is too long, but even he has no argument for a specific
period. ]

Interview: Lawrence Lessig's work 'isn't worthy of a Harvard prof'
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08/18/robert_levine_freeride_interview/
'...Google is not forthright. They give money to the EFF, Public
Knowledge, and to all these other groups, but they're not very honest
about what they're doing...'
'...Lessig, who is supposed to be such a scholar, gets it wrong – it's
appalling. Harvard and Stanford should be ashamed of themselves. It's
not serious academic work. It's not worthy of a Harvard professor....'
