Authors@Google: Lawrence Lessig

Lawrence Lessig is the creator of the Creative Commons licenses and one of the biggest advocates for sensible copyright reform. This talk is from 2006, so I'm sure it has made the rounds already.

This is of particular interest to me because as I do more writing and research, I find myself shut out from a lot of the information that exists in the academic journals. I am a huge fan of creative commons "fair use" ideas and open access publishing. Knowledge and information should be limited to the academy or the wealthy.
