I’m beginning to understand why the Web (particularly artists, musicians and programmers) loves Lawrence Lessig. Probably the foremost authority on intellectual property law and the Internet, Lessig is launching a new venture in a few months, Creative Commons:


Creative Commons will make available flexible, customizable intellectual-property licenses that artists, writers, programmers and others can obtain free of charge to legally define what constitutes acceptable uses of their work. The new forms of licenses will provide an alternative to traditional copyrights by establishing a useful middle ground between full copyright control and the unprotected public domain.


Lessig will be speaking at SXSW this year but unfortunately I’m going to miss his talk.
