Larry Lessig at TED

Nor­mally this sort of link would just be rel­e­gated to the Asides, but to put it bluntly — this moved me. I’ve always been a large fan of Lessig’s and hear­ing that he spoke at TED caused me to imme­di­ately put work aside and seek out the video. This is, per­haps, the most elo­quent speech I have ever heard con­cern­ing the prob­lems with mod­ern copyright.

Please, if you have 20 min­utes, watch this video. And I do mean watch it. Lis­ten­ing does not do jus­tice to his presentation.
