Lessing is in favor of a Second Constitutional Convention and appears to be in favor of intellectual property theft. In August 2013, Lawrence Lessig brought suit against Liberation Music PTY Ltd., after Liberation issued a takedown notice of one of Lessig's lectures on YouTube which had used the song "Lisztomania" by the band Phoenix, whom Liberation Music represents
In his blog, Lessig came out in favor of then Democratic primary candidate Barack Obama, absurdly citing the transformative nature of the Obama campaign as one of his chief reasons. In a speech in 2011, Lessig revealed that he was disappointed with Obama's performance in office, criticizing it as a "betrayal."
In 2013 he was an attendee of the 61st Conference of the Bilderberg Group.

A Second Constitutional Convention might be a good idea. States that don't like Lessig's crazy ideas would have a chance to reject the new Constitution and leave the union.
ReplyDeleteThere's no such thing as "intellectual property". Have decency to call it by its proper name: temporary transferable monopoly grant by the State. Oh, and it is logically incompatible with property rights in physical property. Real property rights does not require State to exist and are not temporary.
