Lawrence Lessig famously battled Mickey Mouse before the Supreme Court. And lost.
But the fight illustrates how the Stanford law professor has played a pivotal role in shaping Internet law and in building a new approach to copyright rules in the digital era, whose spirit, after all, is the freedom of information.
For some 10 years, Lessig, 46, has spread the message that corporations such as Walt Disney Co. need to loosen their hold on popular culture. Crisscrossing the globe, he has delivered his lecture, called Free Culture, to students, high-tech executives, filmmakers and world leaders. The unassuming professor has become one of the most widely known evangelists on the subject, particularly in Silicon Valley.
But under the bright lights of Stanford's Memorial Auditorium on Thursday, Lessig gave his last lecture on the subject. He is leaving the copyright fight to target another thorny issue: corruption in politics.
