Julian Sanchez has a piece in Ars Technica analyzing my recent outing by PFF as a communist. Or socialist. Or quasi-socialist utopianist. Whatever. I'll leave the criticisms of the criticisms of my scholarship to the reader to judge. One perfectly framed point of the piece, though, is something I completely agree with: There is a divide in the libertarian camp about IP extremism. And when, as I'd put it, "libertarians ... 'start to defect' from a strong-IP stance, copyright incumbents [will] be left with only their wholly-owned-subsidiaries as defenders."

Then, I suggest, real progress will be made.
