Lessig's last Free Culture talk, Stanford, Jan 31
,----[ Quote ]
| Last June, Larry announced that he was switching tacks. The problems of
| copyright, he said, were a subset of the larger problem of corruption:
| capture of the regulatory process by special interests to the detriment of
| society as a whole. So Larry was going to fight corruption instead.

Copyright Extensions and ISP Filtering: Breaking EU Culture, One Amendment at a
Time
,----[ Quote ]
| As you may recall, the European Parliament's forthcoming report on the
| Cultural Industries has become the latest target of lobbying by the recording
| industry. First, they attempted to insert language that advocated that
| European ISPs filter and block their own users on the basis of suspected
| infringement. As we explained to European Members of Parliament, such
| policies would not only harm the privacy and security of Net users - they
| would not even work to combat infringement. Like DRM, everyone would lose,
| including the music industry and artists that IFPI seeks to protect.
