> Speaker: Lawrence Lessig
> Professor of Law, Stanford University
>
> About the talk:
>
> In this talk, Professor Lessig will develop the links between
> free labor movement of the 19th century, and the free software.
> Stallman says his free software is free in the sense of free
> speech; it is more richly seen as free in the sense of free
> labor. The struggle for free labor today -- in coders, and
> artists generally -- is restricted by the same controls that
> restricted free labor in the past: by a legal system that gives
> overly strong rights to the few against the many.
>
> About the speaker:
>
> Lawrence Lessig is a Professor of Law at the Stanford Law School.
> He was the Berkman Professor of Law at Harvard Law School[3].
> >From 1991 to 1997, he was a professor at the University of
> Chicago Law School. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1989,
> and then clerked for Judge Richard Posner of the 7th Circuit
> Court of Appeals, and Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme
> Court. Lessig teaches and writes in the areas of constitutional
> law, contracts, comparative constitutional law, and the law of
> cyberspace. Lessig serves as a member of the Board of Directors
> of the Electronic Freedoms Foundation, http://www.eff.org[4], the
> Red Hat Center for Open Source[5], and was a monthly columnist
> for the Industry Standard. In 1999-2000, he was a fellow at the
> Wissenschaftskolleg[6] zu Berlin.
>
> Lessig's c. v.[7] lists his postions and publications. His most
> recent book is The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a
> Connected World[8]. It follows an earlier book, Code, and Other
> Laws of Cyberspace[9]. [Both have been well received as
> thoughtful examinations of important problems. -dra]
