Video: Larry Lessig TED Talk

I’ve bumped into TED once or twice it the past, and never found a reason to check in regularly on their site till this week: I discovered that they have videos. Posted weekly. They call them “Talks“, but you’ll definitely want to listen to their ideas.

I watched the Larry Lessig one last night, and recommend you check it out when you are looking to understand where the culture is going a bit more.

“The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.“
