Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig
While control is needed, and perfectly warranted, our bias should be clear up front: Monopolies are not justified by theory; they should be permitted only when justified by facts. If there is no solid basis for extending a certain monopoly protection, then we should not extend that protection. This does not mean that every copyright must prove its value initially. That would be a far too cumbersome system of control. But it does mean that every system or category of copyright or patent should prove its worth. Before the monopoly should be permitted, there must be reason to believe it will do some good — for society, and not just for monopoly holders.
"Atualmente nós estamos no meio de outra "guerra" contra a "pirataria". A Internet provocou essa guerra. O compartilhamento de arquivos através de sistemas peer-to-peer (P2P)7 está entre as formas mais eficientes de tecnologia permitidas pela Internet. Usando inteligência distribuída, sistemas de P2P facilitam a distribuição de conteúdo de uma maneira que à uma geração atrás era simplesmente inimaginável.
Essa eficiência não respeita as linhas tradicionais do copyright . A rede não faz discriminação entre o compartilhamento de conteúdo com ou sem direitos autorais. Desse modo existe uma grande quantidade de compartilhamento de conteúdo com direitos autorais. Esse compartilhamento, por sua vez, excitou a guerra, com os donos de direitos autorais temendo que o compartilhamento viesse "tomar do autor o seu sustento"."
