November 18, 2010, Portland, ME: Introduction to the celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Maine Clean Election Law. 80% of legislators were elected under the clean election law in Maine in the last election. The law is an extraordinary success. This REV of the TEDxSanAntonio speech includes a spin about it, and its importance. Comments welcome at comments@lessig.org

4 November 2010, Geneva: Keynote at WIPO "Facilitating Access to Culture in the Digital Age" Meeting. A bunch here is familiar, though I refine a bit the idea of ecologies of culture, and press for WIPO to launch a "blue skies" commission to frame a sensible framework for copyright in the digital age.

Latest version (and first I am some what happy with) of the stump speech. This starts with Thoreau, continues with ;the same examples of results possibly affected by money, and adds a new link to the "root." There's also a new twist on the Hiatt story at the end.

September 30, 2010, Cambridge, MA: Opening talk at the Boston Review Forum. This talk was meant to explain the argument I made in the Boston Review, about the error in Citizens United, and the necessary response. It remixes the stuff I've been saying about screw policy decisions with an understanding of the Court's central error in that case. Comments invited at comments@lessig.org. ;

25 September, 2010, Louisville, KY: Keynote given at the Coffee Party's Conference, launching the "mock constitutional convention" that I hosted with Mark McKinnon. This extends the argument for Citizen Funded Elections, linking the movement to what I have elsewhere called "neo-progressives." ;

June 4, 2010, Seoul, Kora: Keynote at the CC Asia Conference. 95% new material, raising an increasingly nagging question -- is open/free necessary for innovation on platforms or with content? Puzzles about innovation in the emerging world of closed or controlled platforms, and questions about strategy for the world of free culture. Particular Apple anxiety.

07 April 2010: The Hugo Black Lecture at Wesleyan. This talk addresses Citizens United and the relevant speech interests that should justify campaign finance regulation. But given the Court's judgment, these justifications must await constitutional revision. Please send comments to comments@lessig.org.
