An excellent Lawrence Lessig speech on On Free, and the Differences between Culture and Code (video). I think many find it quite difficult to understand the true power behind these ideas. This speech is a version of one we have mentioned before. He is in excellent form. YouTube and Google video are great services, it will be nice when the quality of the video images are improved, which I am sure will happen over time.

I was able to seem him in person at the ASEE annual conference in Portland, which was great. See photos from my subsequent vacation in the Pacific Northwest.
