My article criticising Larry Lessig for the direction in which he is taking Creative Commons is up on openDemocracy. It opened a series of critical reflections on free culture that they're gathering together in advance of the iSummit this weekend, which is really great to see. Tony Curzon-Price has followed up with a provoking piece suggesting that there is such a thing as virtuous scarcity, which I partly agree with, although I don't think it's anything openDemocracy need to worry about.

Now isn't the time to circle the wagons! I hope this helps set the tone for the summit, where I'll be speaking on a panel about the philosophy of the commons.
