PdF2008 Talks: Lawrence Lessig--The Declaration for Independence

Lawrence Lessig is a professor of law at Stanford Law School and founder of the school's Center for Internet and Society. He is also the co-founder, with Joe Trippi, of Change-Congress.org. In this keynote talk at Personal Democracy Forum 2008, he offers a fresh interpretation of the Founders' vision of American government as one whose representatives would stand independent of corrupting influences, and calls for a new net-powered reform movement to fix the bugs in today's democracy.
