Thanks for having this video clip posted. This is so useful for my partner.

The video at around twenty minutes in started to remind me of Hans Roslings idea to make global statistics publicly searchable using "easy to use" tools.

Very informative. As a YouTuber, it's good to see copyright reform being discussed seriously.

Great to see Lessig take a break from the lobbying/corruption issue to “scold” his own peeps. He’s talking about “published papers”, but all aspects of academia are too expensive and too exclusive for the value. Classrooms and books are expensive and exclusive – there’s free youtube videos for anything you might get in a classroom. I imagine the answer to the creative commons in academia question will include teachers getting extra money for their classroom lectures being watched online.

Thank you for having uploaded the video so fast, professor Lessig, and above all, for this great lecture. Re your distinction between open as consumable and open as reusable: I just found "The Brain: Teaching Modules", a series of videos produced by Colorado State University in1997 and published on Annenberg's learner dot org in streaming, with a threatening © notice against downloading. Pity: the videos' captions could be socially improved if they had put them under a real Open Access license.

I've never paid for anything on the net and I don't feel any less informed or that I couldn't find the info that I needed. Who pays for info on the net? Not anyone I know.

@bunkermunk Are you perhaps a researcher at one of those affluent universities that can afford subscriptions to scientific publications, mentioned at the beginning of this lecture?
