For my documentary on free culture, I've been studying a lot. More than any other person, I've studied Lawrence Lessig, CEO of Creative Commons, and his contributions to freeing sound, video, and graphics for use in the thriving market of user generated content. This is a mashup of some of his interviews.

A little background. Lessig has given many, many presentations on his ideas about free culture. More than anything else, he celebrates the power digital technologies give to take sounds and images from the culture around us and mix them together to say something.

In June, Lessig announced he would move on from the free culture debate and take on the problem of corruption in Washington, a corrosive issue that threatens to keep copyright and other more serious problems from getting solved. To celebrate Lessig's many achievements, I've decided to remix his own image -- maybe a little irreverently, but always with good intention and great appreciation for his work.

Enjoy.
