The meaning of this pattern is absolutely clear to those who pay to produce it. The meaning is: No one can do to the Disney Corporation what Walt Disney did to the Brothers Grimm. That though we had a culture where people could take and build upon what went before, that's over. There is no such thing as the public domain in the minds of those who have produced these 11 extensions these last 40 years because now culture is owned.

Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig

"Existe um outro motivo para o fato dos blogs terem um ciclo de vida diferente dos principais meios de comunicação. Como Dave Winer, um dos pais desse movimento e um desenvolvedor de software por várias décadas, me disse, uma outra diferença é a ausência de "conflitos de interesses" provocados por motivos financeiros. "Eu penso que você tem que remover esse conflito de interesses" do jornalismo, Winer me disse. "Um jornalista amador simplesmente não tem tal conflito de interesses, ou o conflito de interesses é tão facilmente detectável que você pode o remover do caminho facilmente"."

Mas além da arquitetura, os blogs também resolveram o problema das regras. Não existe (ainda) nenhuma regra no meio dos blogs que diga que não deve-se falar de política. Na verdade, o meio está repleto de discussões políticas, de direita e de esquerda. Alguns dos mais populares blogs são conservadores, outros liberais, mas há blogs de todas as tendências políticas, e mesmo blogs em que não-políticos falam de política quando a situação torna interessante.

Liberty in cyberspace will not come from the absence of the state. Liberty there, as anywhere, will come from a state of a certain kind. We build a world where freedom can flourish not by removing from society any self-conscious control, but by setting it in a place where a particular kind of self-conscious control survives. We build liberty as our founders did, by setting society upon a certain constitution.
