Cult of the Amateur vs. Lawrence Lessig

In the book, Cult of the Amateur, one of the author's main targets for attempting to further his point is Lawrence Lessig professor of law at Stanford and one of the frequent proponents of ideas like Creative Commons licensing and other ways to think about copyrighting in the digital age. One of the main points in Cult of the Amateur is that the rise in amateur information flow that the Internet is allowing will cause actual harm to society. It is Keen's belief that the lack of accuracy in information that can be presented by anyone on the Internet there remains very little out there hat we can trust and less of a value on expertise. I believe that Lessig makes a stronger point however, in that he proves that there are also falsities in the book and not only in inofrmation on the internet. In this case I more fully belive Lessig's argument, not only in that he essentially disproves Keen's main point by showing flaws in his book but also for the fact that I use the internet on a daily basis to connect with others and as an information source. I would still like to believe in the fact that amateurs do have some value in this world as something I pursue in the future not in my area of expertise could still be worthwile.
