Disappointingly hackneyed article on CNet

Normally, CNet's News.com.com is the source for wonderful tech and tech law news. I link to them all the time. This time, however, I'm publicly dissing them, there and here.

Read this article by Progress and Freedom Foundation VP Patrick Ross. His journalistic credentials are actually quite sound, but his reasoning is not.

Next, flip to Comment #4. I wrote a rather lengthy rebuke, and that's the tip of the iceberg of very strong opinions I hold on this issue. I also challenged Ross to a debate. Are you reading this, Patrick? Because I'm serious. Let's go. I'll arrange everything; you just show up.
