self-important blogosphere and Tin Woodmen of the press hanging on
the latest droppings from his Palo Alto, Calif., Emerald City tower
about the supposedly pernicious evils of today's copyright system.

his radically silly ideas when he read my lambasting of his wacky new
book, Free Culture, in the March 29 issue of Forbes (see "The Trouble
With Larry"). Not only did Lessig take to blustering and bloviating
in his March 20 blog entry, but he seems to have been the victim of a
meltdown worthy of the Wicked Witch of the West.
