> About the talk:
>
> In this talk, Professor Lessig will develop the links between
> free labor movement of the 19th century, and the free software.
> Stallman says his free software is free in the sense of free
> speech; it is more richly seen as free in the sense of free
> labor. The struggle for free labor today -- in coders, and
> artists generally -- is restricted by the same controls that
> restricted free labor in the past: by a legal system that gives
> overly strong rights to the few against the many.
>
> About the speaker:
