Leggo my ego: GooglePrint and the other culture war. Slate magazine,
October 17, 2005. http://slate.msn.com/id/2128094/ 

"At stake are two different visions of what might best promote
authorship in this country. One side trumpets the culture of authorial
exposure, the other urges the culture of authorial control. The relevant
questions, respectively, are: Do we think the law should help authors
maximize their control over their work? Or are authors best served by
exposure-making it easier to find their work?"
