I've followed Mr. Lessig's blog for many years and was very sorry to hear that he was distancing himself from the field of copyright law and moving towards corruption in the US Congress. Watching this presentation and hearing his arguments about why it has been so impossible for Mr. Obama's administration to "get things done", a lot became clear. I'm bias, but what he says sound convincing in my ears. Or, what do you think?
Because he can do is propose programs and ask Congress to pass them. The problem is that there are just enough Republicans to stonewall it -- as witness the health care bill. I'm oversimplifying somewhat but that's how it is. Sigh.
