A Series of Tubes

I’ve been a big fan of Lawrence Lessig’s work with creative commons.  I think I made quite a few people watch his lecture on copyright reform.  His latest work is part of the change congress movement.  Here is one version of his change congress lecture:

So on Barack Obama’s website there are various social networking thingamajigs. Since I am not part of the myspace/facebook/whatever crowd I didn’t really care. Turns out that someone made a group on the obama website that I actually cared about. It’s called Senator Obama Please Vote Against FISA.  As of writing this it is the second largest group on his website with 8952 members.

I don’t really expect Obama to change his position back to what it should be.  I’ll probably write to Obama and Feinstein (I haven’t looked it up but I’m guessing that Feinstein is voting for immunity).  The vote to grant immunity to the telecoms for spying on Americans is going in for a final vote sometime after the July 4th holiday.
