An irony to start the week

Eric Eldred of NH parked his Internet Bookmobile in the parking lot at Walden Pond (an irony in itself when you think about it) and started giving out free copies of Thoreau's Walden. He was told to leave or face arrest. Jonathan Zittrain of Da Berkman is supplying legal advise. And, yes, this is the same Eldred who asked the Supreme Court to get Sonny Bono spinning in his grave. Damn troublemaker! (I noticed the article first because of the picture of Eldred wearing his Creative Commons t-shirt, the very one I happen to have on today. Too cosmic! Oh, and by the way, did you know that Larry Lessig is a Marxist? The Ayn Rand Institute says so, so it must be true!)
