Is Lessig’s Free Culture just a modern Das Kopyright?

Copy­right reformer Lawrence Lessig has been get­ting a lot of atten­tion lately, includ­ing a new book that equates his stance on copy­rights with Com­mu­nism. I guess peo­ple are still pin­ing for the Cold War and can’t pass up any oppor­tu­nity to dredge up the Red Men­ace. But the real issue, as the arti­cle points out is the right has basi­cally splin­tered between those who sup­port cor­po­rate inter­ests and lib­er­tar­i­ans. The rev­o­lu­tion, if I may call it that, has hardly begun.
