If you're of the opinion that there's not much differentiating our two remaining Democratic candidates for president, then simply watch this video made by Lawrence Lessig. It's a little long and not very *visually* interesting, but trust me, it's worth it.
If you're not aware of who Larry Lessig is, well, he's a pretty important guy. He's author of Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture (as well as other books on similar subjects). He is a professor of law at Stanford Law School and founder of its Center for Internet and Society. He is founder and CEO of the Creative Commons and a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and of the Software Freedom Law Center, launched in February 2005. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.
By the way, Obama's people went directly to Lessig with their technology policy to get his feedback... This strongly suggests that in an Obama administration, Lessig or Lessig-minded people would be in charge of federal technology policy. Us "Internet Culture" people could be *running* federal tech/copyright policy with Obama in office. That's something to hope for! VOTE!!
If you think Clinton will be the same in these regards, think again. Support Obama. Thanks!
