Lawrence Lessig to Shift Focus From Copyrights to Politics

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 20, 2007 - 4:23pm.

Palo Alto, Calif. - Stanford Law professor Lawrence Lessig, an expert in intellectual property law and champion of less restrictive copyrights, has announced that he will no longer focus on IP law and instead turn his attention to political corruption. "Unless there are very strong reasons, I will not be accepting invitations to talk about the issues that have defined my work for the past decade," Lessig wrote on his blog. Lessig intends to remain chairman of Creative Commons, the alternative copyright movement that places less restrictions on what users can do with creative works.
