38) It’s the corruption, stupid
Mother Jones
by Nick Baumann
“Lawrence Lessig has a new cause -- and new job to go with it. For
more than a decade, the Stanford law professor and Creative Commons
founder has focused his efforts on Internet and copyright issues,
advocating a ‘free culture’ that puts fewer legal barriers in the way
of artists who adapt and build upon the works of others. Now he says
he’s finished his final book on the topic, Remix, and he recently
announced that he will leave Stanford to run the Edmond J. Safra
Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard. From this new perch, Lessig
will take aim at his latest target: corruption, particularly as it
relates to the influence of money in politics.” (02/09/09)
