I think this is a good move. If he can be even half as successful in this new pursuit as he was in changing peoples’ views of copyright law, then maybe we have a chance of making a dent in the problem.

I have been thinking for a long time now, myself, that progress is never going to be made on any of the issues I am concerned about like IP, energy, global warming, etc. until the fundamental problem described quite thoroughly in The Assault on Reason, is addressed. I, too, am looking for a way to focus my energies and skills in addressing the problem, but haven’t quite figured out what to do yet. I’m glad Lessig is joining the fight. He was and continues to be an inspiration to me and a major influencer of my views on IP issues and I have no doubt that he will continue to be so on these new issues.
