Also, Daniel Okrent, the NYT's Public Editor, made a wry comment on the imbroglio: "Anyone who calls the Internet's bustling trade in columnist-attack a cottage industry might more accurately liken it to the arms bazaar in Peshawar. Peace and calm were not enhanced a few weeks ago when Times lawyers took a legal sledgehammer to an imaginary Op-Ed corrections column published by Robert Cox of the Web site The National Debate - but peace and calm rarely accompany arguments about political opinion in a polarized age." posted by James DeLong : 3/30/2004 02:24:55 PM   IPcentral WebLog Blog Main Recent Posts   Asking the Right Question Lessig & DeLong Debate Programmers and Open Source Software More on the NYT/National Debate copyright controversy And in This Corner -- Ink vs. Photon IP as Capital: Yoda Speaks The Wealth of (Creative) Nations Computer Games Et tu, Glenn?
