Yesterday Irene posted Lessig’s “final” lecture on free culture as he now plans to move his attention to congressional corruption. CNET’s Anne Broache reports that Lessig is considering running for congress himself. What better way to fight corruption than on the inside?
Larry Lessig, the Stanford University law professor and “free culture” icon, has confessed that yes indeed, he’s considering a run for the U.S. Congress this year.
The revelation came in a brief blog entry on Lessig’s Web site early Wednesday morning.
Update: Here’s the New York Times article.
