So I wrote a piece in Wired about the IP wars and music. My argument was we needed fewer voices like mine, and more voices like Tweedy's. Wired liked that, and decided they needed to arrange an event with more of my voice. Who am I to say no?

» Wilco and Lawrence Lessig from mike.howsden.com
Reading Lessig's Blog this morning I noted his post (lessig.org) and piece on Wilco and Jeff Tweedy (wired.com). It's true, if I try to bring up copyright issues people immediately start thinking I'm trying to defend stealing music or something. A... [Read More]

Mr. Lessig,

Is this going to be recorded and distributed?

March 10, 2005 12:51 PM Greg Smith:

Jeff Tweedy was just in Chicago and played two sold out nights at the Vic Theater March 4th and 5th. I had no inclination to be excited for his performances - if only you had the opportunity to speak last week!

March 10, 2005 8:07 PM Kirk House:

Speaking of events, are you going to give any other talks outside of the Emerging technology conference while in San Diego?

March 11, 2005 2:36 PM Ryan Meehan:

definitely need to record this and distribute it.

March 11, 2005 7:09 PM Kate:

Oh I am so excited!!! Right in my home town!!! Now all I have to do is peel out of the office at 6:45 and I'll make it just in time!

Okay, I need to get a hobby.

Does anybody else think it is somewhat hypocritical of Tweedy to speak out in the way that he does? While I applaud his message, it's difficult to take him seriously when his records' sales contribute to the RIAA's bottom line.
