Larry Lessig's talk on Aaron Swartz: livestream today at 5 eastern

Today:

Aaron's Laws: Law and Justice in a Digital Age
Lawrence Lessig: Director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics; Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership, Harvard Law School February 19, 2013 @ 05:00 PM
Harvard Law School will host a public lecture, "Aaron's Laws," by Lawrence Lessig on the occasion of his appointment as the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership.
In the wake of the tragic death of social activist Aaron Swartz, many, including some in Washington, are asking how the law should respond. In this lecture -- radically personal, deeply non-disinterested -- Professor Lessig reflects on the life and work of Aaron Swartz, and how that work might be honored.

Aaron's Laws: Law and Justice in a Digital Age (Thanks, Gmoke!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Just finished watching this. Lessig is always a pleasure to listen to. Thanks Cory! Do we know if this will be available later as a download?

I was there in person. Lessig is an inspiring speaker, and I do hope it is made available for those that weren’t able to watch the stream.

Is Lessig still insisting that what Swartz did in the JSTOR case was “morally wrong” (as he did on Democracy Now)? I don’t doubt that his personal grief is genuine, but Lessig’s political pragmatism makes him entirely the wrong person to be the public face of Swartz’s legacy.
