Creative Commons Founder Considers Congress

Lawrence Lessig, the founder of Creative Commons, is considering a run for Congress in California.

If Lessig runs, I’ll support his campaign. Creative Commons licenses allow independent creators to be heard in an oppressive copyright regime dominated by corporate interests. Perhaps Lessig will allow Californians to be heard in an oppressive legislative regime dominated by corporate interests.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, some senator’s trying to protect DRM. Maybe we should elect Teddy Kalaw to Congress. He studied under Lessig.
