Lawrence Lessig is a Stanford Law Professor and one of the foremost experts on copyright. Among his numerous accolades, he is most famous for being a founding member of Creative Commons.
In this video, Lessig presents a persuasive argument on Law and Creativity and its relationship to the world of user generated content. He explores our societal movement from a ReadWrite culture to Read culture (Top-Down) and now back to a ReadWrite (Bottom-Up) culture with Web2.0.
This video comes form TED:
As I have become mesmerized with Lessig’s work, I’ve been checking out some of his books, which are particularly interesting. A few are available for free — off course with Creative Commons licensing. Check them out here.
