A bit far afield, perhaps, but Lawrence Lessig is the co-founder of
Creative Commons and a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright
and trademark. Ars Technica talks
with Lawrence about his bid for the US presidency.
"Ars: Does your copyleft past help or hurt your presidential bid?
Lessig: Whatever you call it, I have the right position on copyright—namely, that it is essential, but needs to be updated to the digital age. If people want to challenge that position, then I’d have to make fair use of the words of Harry Callahan: “Go ahead, make my day.”"
