in We Need the Money! Don’t Politicize Foreign Investment on The Technology Liberation Front
The capitalist American company I work for sells products to Huawei. These are sales that help push the US economy along. Has Congressman McCotter missed all the other investment in this country from China? The Middle East? THE FRENCH?

in You Can’t Compete With Free on The Technology Liberation Front
It seems to me that recorded music has already largely become a commodity. The fact that this has come about largely due to copyright infringement facilitated by new technology is irrelevant, it's already done. You don't get to go back it time for a do over. Even if the recording industry managed to totally stop this infringement (which I don't think is possible), all those people used to their free aren't going to go "Hey, that $15 CD looks pretty good!" The music industry has to figure out how to sell their commodity.

in Copyright Term v. Copyright Inception on The Technology Liberation Front
Thanks for the graph. It really makes it clear where copyright extensions were introduced and how far they've been extended relative to the initial term.
What color are you going to choose for the inevitable next extension?

in McCullagh: A Law Unto Himself on The Technology Liberation Front
I think "Gattuso's Extension of Murphy's Law" was illustrated quite nicely when John Ashcroft was replaced by Alberto Gonzales.
