Lawrence Lessig Answers Your Questions About His Mayday PAC, Part 2 (Video)
The original Mayday PAC goal was to raise $1 million. Now Larry is working on a second -- and more ambitious -- goal: To raise $5 million by July 4. We called for your questions on June 23, and you sent a bunch of them. This time, instead of using email, we used Google Hangout to ask via video, with an attached transcript for those who can't or won't watch the video. In today's video, Larry tells us that some of the impetus for Mayday PAC came from the late Aaron Swartz, and goes deeper into the group's goals and hopes than he did in yesterday's video.

Was this more of the new-and-improved Slashdot we can expect in the future? Historically these answers-your-questions posts were just that, direct responses from the interviewee to users who asked questions. What did we get here? A video chat with very generalized non-specific answers and primarily just an opportunity for Lessig to promote his cause and himself. It was one big spammy two-part advertisement, essentially.
Could you be any more disingenuous, Slashdot and Dice? Forget the silly mutinous talk over the Beta redesign; this is behavior deserving of a pitchfork-wielding geek mob.
Too long, didn't watch.

The title to this article is wrong it should be:
Slashdot throws your questions in the fucking garbage and asks Lawrence Lessig a bunch of other stuff.
The trashing of any and all questions about term limits was unacceptable.
I was actually really looking forward to getting Larry's answers to OUR questions.
I couldn't be more disappointed.
