Peter Yu
At least, that would be the catchy headline I would give to the much more balanced approach by Rebecca MacKinnon when she analyses the debate on digital copyrights in Hong Kong going on now. She links to the position paper Peter Yu wrote and a recent opinion piece, taken away from behind the SCMP firewall.
"Should we turn into criminals the future pillars of our society? Should we slow development of internet services to protect creators of digital content? Should we sacrifice privacy, free speech and a free press in the name of copyright protection?"
Then he answers: "While the copyright holders' concerns are understandable, some of the medicine prescribed in the paper is, unfortunately, worse than the diseases it claims exist."
