Lawrence Lessig on how "the rule of law" is strangling the freedom to create
This is a talk Lawrence Lessig gave at TED in 2007 in which he makes the connection between the weakining of democracy in the United States and "John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights and the 'ASCAP cartel'. "
It's an important presentation that encapsulates, at least within the context of copyright law and digital rights, what extremism has done to our democracy by weakening, through the "rule of law" our freedom to create.
