Political activist and Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig was in Austin this week and delivered a keynote speech at the University of Texas on the corrupting influence of money on politics. We caught up with him yesterday afternoon outside KUT Studios. Lessig is the director of Harvard's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and the founder of Creative Commons.
