Meet the DotCommunist
Columbia Law professor Eben Moglen believes "the bourgeoisie" -- namely, Microsoft, The Walt Disney Co., the WTO, the U.S. Congress and the European Commission -- form "an unholy alliance" controlling culture and information. And he advocates for the abolition of all IP laws. But he's no Marxist. This self-proclaimed "dotCommunist," who just happens to have some of the world's biggest tech companies paying his bills, sits at the forefront of a growing political technology movement. Its goal? Free software.

Wait, that's my nickname! And I'm not some non-Marxist pretender -- there will be no IP law reform without a sea change in attitudes towards property and profit in general. Typical publicity-hungry dilletante academic, I say.
