Lessig at Radcliffe Revisited
posted by mpawlo on Tuesday February 24, @02:11AM
from the observations dept.
Copyright Mary Bridges has published a summary of Professor Lawrence Lessig's presentation at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study the other day. It was the familiar and brilliant Lessig against copyright extension-presentation that everyone should see. But as Mary Bridges observes the main difficulty with Lessig's view is to spread the message to wider circles:

'The third difficulty is conveying the message. Armed with slick computer toys, internet savvy, pirated video clips, a Yale law degree, and well-polished arguments for persuading audiences, Lessig can build the case against copyright in a smooth 50 minutes. How can this message be distilled and rebottled for widespread consumption? WhatÂ’s the short pitch for the cause, and does it have to start with 1800s copyright law?'

Read the summary of Lessig's presentation.
