So my real fear is we’re going to lose control of this animal... I just want to reform [copyright] to make it make sense. As one of those "revolutionary", I thought any possibility of sensible copyright reform is utterly silly and impossible. Instead, I thought the business case will determine the survivability of copyright as an institution in Western civilization. In my opinion, the laws will cramp down on those pirateers, but in reality will not drain out the revolutionary impulse. Piracy is not a revolutionary act. It is an act that support the copyright interest, but not the interest of anti-copyright. The Pirate Party are not revolutionaries, but reformers. Nor are they're a bunch of people who want free musics as far as I know. Instead, the revolutionary spirit seem to be embodied in anarchistic techno-libertarianism that infect some of our fellow hackers. Lessig have nothing to fear from the current population revolting. In my experience, most young people actually have no opinion on intellectual property right. It is probable that once young people actually have money, they'll just purchase musics out of convenience. I tend to find that copyright abolitionism has won most people on the techno-libertarianism spectrum. You're more likely to see them concocting business models and engaging in counter-economic activities rather than concocting silly legislative effort.
