Lawrence Lessig - Corruption Talk Alpha Version
As you may or may not know, Lawrence Lessig spent 10 years dedicating his life to fighting bad copyright law. He may be the most influential ‘copyfighter’ ever.
Last June (2007) Larry announced that he was shifting his scholarship and eventually his activism away from copyright. This isn’t to say he’s abandoned the copyfight, but you could say his primary focus is shifting to the problem of ‘Corruption.’ Specifically it seems United States governmental corruption.
This morning he posted the video of the alpha version of his Corruption Lecture.
Whether you agree or disagree with the often controversial Mr. Lessig his lectures are guaranteed to give you pause, make you think and still manage to entertain. To me, that’s worth the hour or so you’ll spend listening to what he has to say.
