Lawrence Lessig to Give Final Presentation on Free Culture and Copyright

San Francisco, CA, USA — January 29, 2008

Creative Commons founder and Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig will
give his final presentation on free culture, copyright, and the future
of ideas at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium on January 31st, 2008 at
1pm. After 10 years of enlightening and inspiring audiences around the
world with multimedia presentations that inspired the Free Culture
movement, Professor Lessig is moving on from the copyright debate and
setting his sites on corruption in Washington.

The presentation is being recorded for the upcoming feature film
Basement Tapes: The Making of a Pirate Movie, a documentary about
copyright in the digital age (see http://www.opensourcecinema.org).
Over four years in the making, the film is co-produced by the National
Film Board of Canada and the award-winning production house
EyeSteelFilm.

About Creative Commons

Creative Commons is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2001,
that promotes the creative re-use of intellectual and artistic works,
whether owned or in the public domain. Through its free copyright
licenses, Creative Commons offers authors, artists, scientists, and
educators the choice of a flexible range of protections and freedoms
that build upon the "all rights reserved" concept of traditional
copyright to enable a voluntary "some rights reserved" approach.
Creative Commons was built with and is sustained by the generous
support of organizations including the Center for the Public Domain,
the Omidyar Network, The Rockefeller Foundation, The John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and The William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation, as well as members of the public. For more information
