Carl MalamudProfessor Lawrence "RW" Lessig's "The Withering of the Net" (2006)

On June 16, 2006, Professor Lawrence Lessig gave a talk at the Center for American Progress entitled "The Withering of the Net: How DC Pathologies are Undermining the Growth and Wealth of the Net." This talk was the second in a series of three. The first talk was Professor Yochai Benkler, the third featured Dave Farber and Vint Cerf.

In just under 40 minutes, Lessig delivered a stunning performance, documenting his assertion that the Internet was created by Republicans and discussing the Read Only (RO) and Read Write (RW) Internet(s). In those less than 40 minutes, Lessig hit the mark precisely on 457 slides. In the spirit of the RW Internet, we taped his performance and then mashed that up with his presentation materials.

The transcript for this talk is here. If you would like to try your own remix, there is also a 39 Mbyte tarball with 590 TIFF images from each state transition in the presentation.

The QuickTime file available here is 800x600 H.264 video. At only 236 Mbytes for 39:04 of video, looks great and less filling too!

I am not just saying this because Lessig is the genious behind this website's success. The presentation is both technically brilliant and though-provoking.

Larry Lessig does it again-- makes a great presentation about the danger to the Internet based on monopoly powers currently on the rise.
