"Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this
elegant presentation of three stories and an argument. The Net's most
adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights,
and the "ASCAP cartel" to build a case for creative freedom. He pins
down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual
property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an
homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most
hilarious remixes you've ever seen."
