Here's to the Manifesto of Radical Inaction

The Manifesto for Radical Inaction in relation to the legal challenges/ threats posed by Web 2.0 was proposed at the SCL Law 2.0 Conference held in London. It can be found at PanGloss.

My pithier/shorter version:

1. LEGISLATE NOT IN HASTE, NOR GET CARRIED AWAY BY THOSE THAT KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO (BUT LIKE TO PRETEND THEY DO!)

2. LET WEB 2.0 BLOSSOM

3. WHAT (LAW THERE) IS, MUST BE EXTENDED AND APPLIED.

4. AND WHILE WE FIGURE OUT THE BEST SOLUTION, IP AND PRIVACY MUST TAKE CENTRESTAGE!

I think I'm going to carry these in my wallet as a perpetual reminder. Hurrah to Chris Reed.
