I don't read /. regularly, but I occasionally go by and look at their articles.
This time they had a pair of interesting articles, made more fascinating by the juxtaposition. The first is Lessig's [link|http://gilder.com/AmericanSpectatorArticles/Lessig/Control.htm|Control and Creativity]. The second is an applied example which underscores what Lessig was talking about, [link|http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/abandonware/|The Skinny on Abandonware].
Both are interesting. The second is more interesting if you are reading it thinking about what Lessig had to say.
Cheers,
