Travis McCrea – Digital Patriot

What type of free internet is it, when you have to have a million dollars to start up a website? The RIAA does not care about the people, the future, or even the artists they represent, they just care about the money. This is their right, I fight for things that benefit me too (a free and open culture would be best for my life, and my children’s when I have them)… But people need to be aware that their motivations are financial.

A recent post over at the LA Times by August Brown highlighted who benefits from Intellectual Property laws. This was a response directly to Matt Yglesias and his two posts on Intellectual Property law. I weigh in on both sides of the issue and what it means to the average consumer.
