I’ve been busy posting a lot of stuff elsewhere in the last week; here are some pointers to some of what I’ve been writing at Techdirt and Cato@Liberty lately:
I offer some lessons from the Romney campaign’s commercial mash-up contest.
I note that Wall Street analysts are starting to criticize the recording industry’s lawyer-happy strategy.
I criticize the goofy idea of government subsidies for declining newspapers.
I critique Thomas Hazlet’s column on the iPhone
I point out that selling laptops to foreign governments in batches of a million isn’t likely to produce an innovative product.
I plan to continue posting a significant amount of stuff here on TLF, but if you’re interested in tech policy and libertarianism, you really should be subscribed to Techdirt and Cato@Liberty as well.
