Professor Lawrence Lessig to give Final Copyright and Free Culture Lecture

Berkman's 10 year anniversary isn't the only 10 year mark right now.  After a decade long charge of world changing thoughts and teachings on copyright, Creative Commons founder and Stanford Law School Professor Lawrence Lessig is poised to give his final Free Culture talk later this afternoon.

"Professor Lessig has been a terrific mentor, virtual and otherwise, to many of us personally, to our students here at Harvard Law, and to the wider Berkman community. His thinking about free culture has been and continues to be tremendously important to our work, and we wish him great good luck -- and our support -- in his new focus on political corruption," Berkman Executive Director John Palfrey wrote on behalf of our center.

The clicks of powerpoint will happen today at 1:00 pm (PT) at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium.  While we wish we could be there to celebrate the extraordinary occasion, we will be able to watch parts of it when it is released as part of the documentary Basement Tapes: The Making of a Pirate Movie.

More information about the event can be found on the Stanford site, and you can read Professor Lessig's Corruption announcement and his post about today's event.
