Lawrence Lessig

Lawrence Lessig is a law professor at Stanford and is the founding board member of Creative Commons board a different way to look at copyright and licencing law. He is really smart and in the interview below with Charlie Rose talks about a range of topics from free culture to the hybrid economy (think flickr not prius) to this thoughts on abolishing copyright law.

The part of the discussion on free culture is really interesting and if you just want to watch that click here. 

Lastly, I am really impressed with the Charlie Rose site and PBS in general with how much content they have online and allow users to share.  With Charlie Rose they even take the interviews and break them up based on the topics. It is funny that if you ask most people what their perception is of PBS or NPR they would think that is stogy or old but they both are very progressive in embracing the online culture and technology.
