Lessig vs. Valenti Debate

Posted Wednesday, November 28, 2001, at 06:50PM by Eric Richardson

Tomorrow night Annenberg is hosting a debate between Jack Valenti, President of the MPAA, and Lawrence Lessig, an IP lawyer, on the future of IP. This is apparently a long-running debate series, possibly originating with a debate at Harvard. It should be interesting. Yesterday I was helping someone write a paper on copyright and IP. It's a really interesting subject, and one that's actually made me think about going into law, though the chances of that happening are slim.
