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.

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. ;

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.

But given the Court's judgment, these justifications must await constitutional revision. Please send comments to comments@lessig.org.
