"Ten Years of Chilled Innovation"

"Ten Years of Chilled Innovation"
Q&A with LAWRENCE LESSIG
BusinessWeek, publication date: 29 June 2005
"Q: So the problem with the decision is just that the Supreme Court rendered an opinion at all, rather than letting legislators decide?
A: Right. By making it a process that goes through the courts, you've just increased the legal uncertainty around innovation substantially and created great opportunities to defeat legitimate competition. You've shifted an enormous amount of power to those who oppose new types of competitive technologies"
