Prof. Lawrence Lessig





Charlie Rose has another great program with Prof. Lawrence Lessig.

The topics range from his personal friendship with Obama, to copyright law and even child abuse. (Apparently, Lessig was sexually abused as a child in Princeton, New Jersey.)


The most interesting part of the show, in my mind at least, centered around his comments about the potential of the re-mix society and its natural clash with copyright law as it currently exists. But never fear! Lessig comes down as a strong proponent of copyright law, though he feels it requires substantial reform.

This is yet another program that will reward your time and attention!


If you want more, check out Lessig's other video files, which are available on Blip TV.
