Free Culture: The limited but essential role of property in building an environment for creativity Tuesday, 28 October – 8:30-10:00 Larry Lessig, Stanford University, lessig@pobox.com

This talk will sketch the boundaries of protection that intellectual property law should set, but argue that extremism has now defeated these limits. The consequence is an environment within which modular creativity is increasingly constrained.
