Lawrence Lessig: Ending Political Corruption

Presented by the Chicago Humanities Festival

The highly respected professor at Stanford Law School and founder of the school's Center for Internet Technology has been a leading voice arguing against overly narrow interpretations of copyright and trademark that stifle innovation and discourse both on- and offline. Recently, though, Lessig has changed missions, focusing his considerable energies on a new web-based project, "Change Congress," which intends to reduce the pervasive influence of money on politics and give voters the tools needed to hold their representatives accountable.

This discussion takes place in the MCA Theater.
