What's the Big Deal? It's Not Like
She Called Him a Crypto-Fascist

According to Lawrence Lessig, Philadelphia public radio station WHYY is telling folks that Bill O'Reilly is refusing Fresh Air permission to relicense segments of the interview he did last fall with Terry Gross to promote Who's Looking Out for You? I'm not entirely sure why a news show--and I would classify Fresh Air as a news show--needs permission from interview subjects to redistribute its content, but then I'm no intellectual property expert. Anyway, if you somehow didn't hear this remarkable bit of grandstanding when it happened, it's worth a listen; Gross bearbaits O'Reilly even better than Al Franken did, and he does his best to leave a few claw marks behind.
