Prompted by RMS’s free and open-source software, Lawrence Lessig spent 10 years tackling copyright problems by way of the Creative Commons. He says he’ll spend the next 10 tackling far-from-ideal government corruption, misinformation, and the influence of money, whether on global warming or nutrition (or oil or war, we might add). Government finds it hard to understand things when there is a strong interest in misunderstanding. But transparency and what he calls peer production (which we have come to call co-governance) makes it easier to shame and change the system. Fascinating interview from Danish TV (In English). * via Doc Searls. Thanks Adriana!
