Lawrence Lessig founder of Creative Commons considers running for United States Congress. Lessig already mentioned in Croatia during the iSummit 2007 (see also in crappy Youtube galore ) that he would change his focus from copyright reform to reforming American politics and since a few days it has become apparent that he means business. Today I heard about lessig08.org and I watched his presentation on ‘change’. I suggest to have a look as well:

I sincerely hope Lessig will go for Congress.

I suggest all Americans able to make this happen to have a good look at his ideas. Lessig is just what the USA and all of us striving towards copyright reform and a more balanced world could use. I wish we all could have more politicians of the stature of Lawrence Lessig. The world needs more knowledgeable people in influential positions.
