Learning not much about the Future of Copyright

SEATTLE, Washington - Perhaps I've marinated myself so thoroughly in the issue of digital-age copyright that I can't learn much more from short essays, but the Cato Unbound series on this issue didn't enlighten me too much.

The lead essay is by anti-copyright activist Rasmus Fleischer ("just give up, copyright cabal, you can't win and you're just becoming a pain in the ass") with reaction essays by Cato scholar Timothy Lee (who proposes a middle ground that doesn't really accomplish much), law professor Tom W. Bell (who doesn't do much besides mention a book he wrote), and law professor Doug Lichtman ("we need copyright, we will pass whatever laws we have to to enforce strong copyright, and you will like it.").

Perhaps they could interest the less marinated.
