There is no new hacker word of the week this week due to the length of the interview.

The feature this week is an interview with Professor Lawrence Lessig. We discuss both his research of the last ten years involving copyright reform and his recently announced new direction, tackling government corruption.

I also reviewed Professor Lessig’s excellent book, Free Culture, on the January 7th episode of this year in case you are not familiar with his work.

I spend more time than intended discussing the exchange between Ursula K. Le Guin and Cory Doctorow over a piece of micro fiction she sent to the fanzine, Ansible. I misspoke in the episode and identified the periodical in question as Slate. I blame the pre-show pumpkin ale. Cory links to Miss Le Guin’s open letter and her is the first I saw of it, a posting on Jerry Pournelle’s site. I think that last, personally, was just gas on a candle flame.

In case you hadn’t heard elsewhere, Joe Murphy left us this past Sunday. I was recording at the time but found out right after finishing Sunday’s show. The fabulous folks responsible for the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund put together a heartfelt and touching bit of audio. Thanks to George Hrab for the underlying music.

Godspeed, Mason Rocket!
