Perhaps the author being "Derek Khanna, Contributor", instead of "XX XY, Forbes Staff" has something to do with it.

    Lately, he did a lot of work on a campaign to legalize cell phone unlocking[1][2]. I'm not sure how that turned out.

      Yep - I spearheaded that campaign. We got a bunch of bills introduced in Congress, White House reversed their position, FCC is still investigating. I'm trying to get the best bill through Congress while we lay the groundwork for an overall copyright reform bill.

        It's not every day I say this to a Republican -- in fact, I'm not sure I ever have before -- but seriously keep up the good work. We're all counting on you. :-)

        And he delivers. Can you provide links to the bills?
