É dessa forma que algumas vezes a lei funciona. Nem sempre de forma tão trágica, e raramente com esse drama heróico, mas algumas vezes é assim que a lei funciona. Para começar, o governo e suas agências são vítimas de cooptação. Elas normalmente são cooptadas quando um interesse poderoso é ameaçado tanto por uma mudança legal quanto técnica. Esse interesse poderoso freqüentemente exerce sua influência em um governo para que este o proteja. A retórica para essa proteção é sempre baseada, claro, no bem público, mas a verdade é muito diferente.

Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig

The most powerful and sexy and well loved of lobbies really has as its aim not the protection of "property" but the rejection of a tradition. Their aim is not simply to protect what is theirs. Their aim is to assure that all there is is what is theirs. It is not hard to understand why the warriors take this view. It is not hard to see why it would benefit them if the competition of the public domain tied to the Internet could somehow be quashed.
