Dont listen in here there is nothing progressive in this diary. Google Lawrence Lessig, visit eff.org, visit http://creativecommons.org and read any of the many books.
The fact that Lessig has been suggested for AG and SCOTUS, the fact he is one of the leading thinkers in the internet and internet freedom, the leading thinker in internet neutrality. Larry Lessig is it. The people who hate him are, the record industry, Microsoft (Lessig was lead counsel for a time when it was sued by States for monopoly) and patent trolls. use google to search slashdot.org for very well researched talk about the subjects Lessig is an expert in, who all cite Lessig.
This isn't just trashing him because he endorsed Obama is it?
Do you have any substantial point explaining your anger and animus?
