Lessig @ Stanford
Open Source Cinema and Creative Commons invite you to attend a Free Culture event at Stanford University.
Creative Commons founder and Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig is giving his final presentation on Free Culture, Copyright and the future of ideas at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium on January 31st, 2007. After 10 years of enlightening and inspiring audiences around the world with multi-media presentations that inspired the Free Culture movement, Professor Lessig is moving on from the copyright debate and setting his sites on corruption in Washington.
Lessig is giving a final talk at Stanford University on the subject, and it is being recorded for the upcoming feature film "Basement Tapes", an open source documentary.
Please come and give Professor Lessig our appreciation and for a last chance to witness this enlightening and provocative presentation.

Guests will also be treated to a sneak preview of some upcoming scenes from Basement Tapes, and re-mixed work from the Open Source Cinema website.
Please join our Facebook group and RSVP! And bring a friend!

Already at the top of the field of constitutional law before he began his intensive focus on the law of cyberspace, Lawrence Lessig has concentrated his scholarship on the problem of how law should govern the exchange of information and ideas in a digital age. He is a leading figure in the United States and internationally in cyberlaw, a field that lies at the previously unexplored intersection of constitutional law and intellectual property law. Professor Lessig is the founder and co-director of the law school’s Center for Internet and Society, board member of the Creative Commons project, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His current academic work addresses a kind of “corruption.”
Before joining the Stanford Law School faculty in 2000, he was a law professor at the University of Chicago Law School and at Harvard Law School. After completing his legal studies, Professor Lessig clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, of the U.S. Supreme Court, and Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Hi Brett,
My local Students for Free Culture chapter (Free Culture Columbia) is planning on screening this talk on campus. Any news on when exactly a video (preferably a high-quality version) will be made available online?
Thanks,
-Nick
