Quotes – Page 1
“You can't pass laws to ensure that people earn money. You can pass laws to give them rights, but if those rights aren't valued by the market, then there's nothing the law can do.”
-Ruth Towse, economist
“If I have to choose between the rights of the author and the rights of the public domain, I will choose the rights of the public domain.”
-Victor Hugo, 1878
Quotes – Page 2
“Innovation makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old regime, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is indifferent partly from fear and partly because they are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience.”
-Machiavelli, the prince
“And so it is today with us: those who prospered under the old regime are threatened by the internet; this is the story of how they react. Those who would prosper under the new regime have not yet risen to defend it against the old; whether they will is the question this book asks. The answer so far is clear: They will not.”
-Lawrence Lessig, the future of ideas – 2001
Quotes – Page 3
“When the winds of change blows some people build shelters, other build windmills.
- Chinese proverb
