I’m excited to be launching a new book, Intellectual Property Strategy, tonight at Harvard Law School. (If you’re in Cambridge, MA, USA, please feel free to come by Austin Hall East at HLS at 6:00 pm this evening for the event and a reception thereafter or tune into the webcast.) The discussion tonight will cover … Read more
John, As you know, my blog is in hibernation. Would you mind posting the following response to Andy Orlowski’s latest for the record? I hadn’t thought any response would be necessary, but the ordinarily sensible (even if I disagree with its politics) Capitol Confidential seems to have been misled by Orlowski’s piece. Perhaps there are … Read more
Join us in-person or online for the GBS Settlement Workshop at the Berkman Center today. There’s a webcast: webcast, Twitter stream (#gbsworkshop09), and IRC chat, with vibrant conversations going on. Lessig talking now, with an unadvertised-wow-we-are-lucky mini-keynote.

The goal: get him 1,000+ supporters in a week … Read more
Lawrence Lessig makes two announcements. And sets up Lessig ’08. Watch the video. Then get over to ActBlue and be part of the grassroots movement to convince him to run for Congress by contributing. Join us in the DRAFT LESSIG Challenge: let’s get 1,000 people to give money or pledge their time to show him … Read more
The DRAFT LESSIG movement — to encourage Prof. Lawrence Lessig to run for the U.S. Congress from California — is off to a quick start. Then again, if it’s going to happen, it has to happen fast: the special election is April 8. The Facebook group we set up a few days ago now has … Read more
