I am a little over halfway through watching
this lecture, and it's pretty moving.
Lawrence Lessig has been a big name in copyfighting circles for years (see close to every 5th post on
Boingboing). He's now working on corruption issues, and he makes an amazingly good argument. Worth a watch.
Democracy requires personal responsibility AS WELL AS community responsibility. If you see someone stealing something, do you speak up and do something about it?? If you know that someone is cheating on their taxes, do you speak up? If you know that someone is molesting young children, do you speak up?? I'm not passing judgement on the answers of any of these questions, but just provoking thought.
