http://confabb.com/conferences/PDF2007/sessions/5535 Sat, 19 May 2007 22:13:13 GMT Attendee Reviews of Free Culture, Free Politics http://confabb.com/conferences/PDF2007/sessions/5535/details#273 I've always read about Lessig's presentation style and have watched his Free Culture pres a few times, but have never seen him live. He's as good as they say. Perfect for the first session. Not too dense or analytical. Filled with passion. He knew how to stir every member of the audience, which is hard--I'm a geek, and I was sitting next to a broker. We were equally impressed.

He made his point (casting both anti-copyright people and major corporations as extremists and casting himself in the middle ground) very well, and his answers to the question were excellent. Two very slight complaints: 1. I didn't feel his powerpoint added to what he was saying, in fact it was distracting at times. He could've done without it. 2. As a law student and law nerd, I would've loved if he'd gone down and dirty in describing copyright law, what it is, what should be done about it. I understand he wasn't talking to a lawyer-friendly crowd, but it still would've been great to hear about the actual details of what the situation is.

NYBri http://confabb.com/conferences/PDF2007/sessions/5535/details#250 Lessig, one of the foremost experts on copyrights, provided the perfect context for the remainder of the conference. A terrific way to begin. Fri, 18 May 2007 10:53:22 GMT http://confabb.com/conferences/PDF2007/sessions/5535/details#250 Zachary Sims
