Larry Lessig's 2016 presidential run
Larry Lessig, professor of law at the Harvard School of Law and Director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, co-founder of Creative Commons, and (briefly), a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. Lessig was interviewed by Karen Tumulty, a correspondent for The Washington Post. For context (from Wiki): Larry Lessig described his candidacy as a referendum on campaign finance reform and…

Laws that choke creativity | Larry Lessig
Watching this for a class, but food for thought. What he’s saying matters to our current internet climate especially among artists. Interesting specifically that this was a talk from ten years ago.
Harvard professor says 20 electors may switch their vote
Larry Lessig, a Harvard University constitutional law professor, claimed on Twitter Tuesday that 20 Trump electors could flip their vote.
This would diminish Trump's 306-to-232 Electoral College lead over Hillary Clinton.
If 37 Trump electors flipped to anyone but Trump, he would fail to meet the 270-vote threshold required to win the presidency.
Note that beyond Lessig's claims, there's no evidence that 20 electors plan to switch.
According to Politico, only one Republican elector has publicly confirmed their intention.
However, Politico also reported that Lessig has been acting as a sort of middleman for electors to "privately communicate their intentions."
Meanwhile, the RNC is keeping a tight leash on electors. Read more
There are 538 people with the fate of the election in their hands, and they can now seek counsel from high-powered lawyers.
Hell Yes!!
“It makes no sense to be elector number five who comes out against Trump. But it might make sense to be elector 38,” Larry Lessig said.

Ce qu’il faut comprendre, entendre et attendre du résultat de l’élection américaine: L’analyse de Larry Lessig
”A l’invitation du théâtre d’Annecy, le professeur Larry Lessig était à mes cotés sur scène le jeudi 10 novembre .
Deux jours après le résultat d’une campagne éléctorale triste à sombrer, l’analyse de ce professeur de droit, de cet activiste anti-corruption et de ce candidat à la primaire débouté par son propre parti (les Démocrates) fut précieuse.
La salle, hyper recueillie, s’est animée au moment des questions. Je n’ai jamais vu une telle forêt de bras levés. C’était beau et ingérable, une énorme leçon pour moi. Nous sommes plus que jamais inquiets, à vifs, peu enclins à nous écouter. Et pourtant...
Le débat fut précédé de la projection du film que je lui avais consacré, avec Laurent Besançon, pour Arte et les conférences TED, il y a un peu plus d’un an, alors que Larry Lessig se présentait aux primaires. Le film a terriblement vieilli. C’est une vraie douleur que de le regarder. Trump, avec son art de la manipulation de la colère contre le système, les algos, des “echos chambers” et des épouvantails, nous a totalement ringardisé.
Voici le débat (vous pouvez passer jusqu’à la 55ème minute si vous connaissez le travail de Larry Lessig et/ou avez déjà vu le film) :
