"But also, Lessig is truly one of the best lawyers around when it
comes to copyright and related issues. He is smart enough to know that
law is produced by political discussion, and also that the discussion
in question is just beginning in those blurry areas where professional
and amateur use overlap.  I see no need for disappointment when seeing
him wisely refraining from claiming a solution when there is still so
much work to do."

My disappointment does not lie in the absence of a solution, but
rather in the lack of any suggestions for moving the political
discussion forward.  He has clear opinions about how things are not
working now, but doesn't offer opinions about how to improve the
system.  From John's description of the talk as being 'amazing', I had
hoped for more.
