Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig
Of all the creative work produced by humans anywhere, a tiny fraction has continuing commercial value. For that tiny fraction, the copyright is a crucially important legal device. For that tiny fraction, the copyright creates incentives to produce and distribute the creative work. For that tiny fraction, the copyright acts as an "engine of free expression." But even for that tiny fraction, the actual time during which the creative work has a commercial life is extremely short. As I've indicated, most books go out of print within one year. The same is true of music and film. Commercial culture is sharklike. It must keep moving. And when a creative work falls out of favor with the commercial distributors, the commercial life ends.
"Esse ciclo diferenciado é possível porque as pressões comerciais que existem em outros meios não existem nos blogs. A televisão e os jornais são entidades comerciais. Elas precisam trabalhar para manter a atenção. Se perdem leitores, perdem faturamento. Como tubarões, precisam nadar atrás da próxima "notícia quente".
Mas os bloggers não possuem amarras semelhantes. Eles podem molestar, eles podem se focar, eles podem ficar sérios. Se uni blogger específico escreve algo realmente interessante, mais e mais pessoas irão criar lirnks àquela história. E quando o número de links para uma certa história aumentar, ela sobre no ranking das histórias."
