ASCAP have a long history of being bastards

I'm a big fan of Lawrence Lessig, super copyright lawyer. He worked for years to make the system fairer and more balanced - it's way too much in favor of the big corporations right now. Back in the day you could only copyright something for 30 years - can you imagine the amazing art that would be created if we could remix anything from before 1980?

Anyway, here's a presentation he gave at TED I really enjoy. But I'm a huge copyright nerd.
