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.
