He had nice ideas and was a wise men.
It does not mean that all praise should not come with a little of objectivity on its political bias: his slightly biased opinion of the people in the process of making political decision.
He was a techocrat -even though he was a gifted one. And technocrats have been so far strongest heralds of unfair IP laws that is the very first reason of the existence of free software.
Free software is a walk-around technocratic decisions. Technocracy is much more a problem to free software than regulations.
Regulations that can be changed by the people matters more than «right» decisions taken by some sort of deaf aristocracy.
I will agree his essay was on spot. I will still spot his strong will to undermine democratic process and his distrust of the people.
1 right can be undone by a small wrong that is more important.
