Lessig on the World Social Forum

Posted by timothy on from the everyone-wants-to-live-in-brazil dept.

Raindance writes "Lawrence Lessig has a great article up on Technology Review about the World Social Forum held this past January in Brazil. In addition to telling an engaging story, it covers topics ranging from GNU and DRM to Brazil's interesting stance on the rights of foreign copyright holders, and is a good introduction to the permission culture/remix culture debate. It also makes me want to live in Brazil."

    are always the ones that rail against laws that protect the creators of IP. LOL

    And why does 90% of Lessig's drivel involve Brazil? Why doesn't he just move there if it's such a utopia? His departure would improve the quality of Stanford's staff by virtue of addition by subtraction. LOL

    They must love Americans because they're so innocent and sweet, aren't they ? It is really disgusting how a little perverted sex tourist like you, takes advantage of our women and children because of the almighty dollar. I wish I could kill everyone of you. Die scum.

    Brazil may not be the richest, most bestest country in the world, but I like their style.
    Why don't you move there, then?
