This is, perhaps, one of the best discussions of how copyright laws (IMO) are not simply unfair, but also a bane to our culture’s creativity. The pain caused by these laws is exacerbated by the explosion of opportunity that the Internet provides us. Even sweeter is that the message and history are being discussed here by Larry Lessig, an attorney.

Hat tip to Lorraine for the find!

Yeah, I love his message. For example, I read Free Culture several years back, and I very much felt his pain. However, with all bought-and-paid-for suits we have in congress I have no hope that things will change in the foreseeable future. ;-(
