Larry Lessig Presentation on Free Culture

If you have a free hour and would like to learn about free cul­ture, then I high­ly rec­om­mend you watch this pre­sen­ta­tion by law pro­fes­sor Lar­ry Lessig. The tools for free cul­ture, par­tic­u­lar­ly copy­left and Cre­ative Com­mons, are expand­ing and Lessig points out how this applies to all cre­ative mate­ri­als beyond just soft­ware. I strong­ly believe that copy­right, and even more-so, patent law, is bro­ken in this coun­try (and most else­where as well) and while I do not know the answer, I think this goes a lot to get­ting there.
