FC.o in Alternet's WireTap

January 4th, 2005 by skyfaller

As we began trickling back home for the holidays, we got a nice present from WireTap magazine, a wonderful article called “From the Campus to the Commons.” I would like to take this opportunity to submit a correction… the article quotes me as saying, “The buggy manufacturers are trying to outgun cars, ya know?” I actually said something a bit more comprehensible, along the lines of “It’s as if the buggy whip manufacturers were trying to outlaw cars,” referring to how the entertainment companies are trying to ban technologies that threaten their outdated business models. Desirina also said that it’s a bit inaccurate to say that the RIAA lawsuits were her inspiration for starting the Emory chapter of FC.o, as she actually came across FreeCulture.org while reading about free software and other related issues. Aside from those corrections, it’s a great article, and I suggest you go read it :-)
