Wow. Lawrence Lessig is a god. Not only was he instrumental in the genesis of Creative Commons, but now he's training his powerful mind and creative rhetoric on Washington.

Here's a video he released today. I'm inspired. It's not much more than a simple powerpoint, but the argument is clean (a little convenient?) and so is the design. A great text for a class discussion about what it does and doesn't do.

FYI: I'm going to have to do some checking, but I think the blipTV site he uses to host his sites works the same way as YouTube, but with much higher quality video. That's because it uses Flash as the player instead of YouTube's player. This is a great opportunity to talk about which parts of the production process are free (YouTube's uploading and conversion software) but profit-generating still, and which are not (Adobe's Flash exporter). Lot's of issues at play here. Anybody want to jump in?

Also: Here's the link inside the Lessig movie, in case you missed it:
