Wu

After reading Wu, and considering the work of Lessig, I can say that Wu makes a fair and valid argument. He makes it easier to understand the state of the American government. The problem seems to be, as Wu argues, that the government is rightfully stuck on the ideology of democracy. Yet that makes it difficult to separate the actual issue from the ideology of how one feels it should be dealt with. I liked Wu because he clarified a side of the IP argument that is often criticized, cutting the "bad guys" some slack. In terms of the value of a product, I think this is interesting to consider when one thinks about incentive to create. I may utilize Wu's argument as a point of reference when considering whether incentive to create is necessary, and perhaps having sites like Creative Commons, shows a circumstance where the incentive is to share, and that copyright laws have not completed stifled creativity.
