I don't know the man personally so I couldn't possibly make a judgement call on using his stance to sell the book, but he WROTE the book - don't you really have to believe in something to write a book on it? Maybe “free speech” is an alien concept to the kids across the pond… *grin*

I would so *love* to 'debate' him. My first question would be, "Why don't you believe in the right to free speech?" As far as self-publishing goes, our most famous of Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, was a self-made man, without a formal education, and changed the world through self-publishing. Blogs are as American as apple pie and this British tart Keen needs to realize that his country already lost that war A wonder if Andrew Keen is simply taking an absurd position to sell his book?
