Arianna says "the lawsuit completely ignores... how new media... have changed the game, enabling millions of people to shift their focus from passive observation to active participation — from couch potato to self-expression."

"Writing blogs, sending tweets, updating your Facebook page, editing photos, uploading videos, and making music are options made possible by new technologies... The same people who never question why someone would sit on a couch and watch TV for eight hours straight can't understand why someone would find it rewarding to weigh in on the issues — great and small — that interest them. For free."

You desk potatoes!
