You're right about that. This is scary stuff. This should be one of those videos at the top of the front page. I don't want my internet to be like China's, or Bahrain's, or .... This fucked. fucked.

Such utter BS. I can't believe people are actually uneducated enough to listen to a guy like this--who presents absolutely no evidence to back up his claims. The Patriot Act was sitting around in someone's drawer for 20 years? Really? I guess the people who drafted it were psychic then since they knew about the Internet and email in advance and decided a priori that the government would one day need to do more to control it. And a large part of the Patriot Act targets immigrants. Why on earth would the government target immigrants 20 years ago back when it was a non-issue and then sit on it until now?

This guy is about as credible as most people who claim to have seen Bigfoot. The vid deserves to be on the Sift only for laugh value at the gullibility of the conspiracy theorists who eat this stuff up.

Ha ha. You're funny. You should go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself. Lessig is a professor of law at Stanford Law School. Lessig earned a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Management (Wharton School) from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.A. in philosophy from the University of Cambridge (Trinity) in England, and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.

Prior to joining Stanford he taught at the Harvard Law School, where he was the Berkman Professor of Law, affiliated with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and the University of Chicago Law School.

I think this guy knows one or two things about litigation. And I for one will take his word over yours any day, EVEN if you are named after a freedom fighting toy.

^ Ooof! nomino ftw.

Gundam 0
Nomino 1

Is there anything sexier than a girl gracefully shooting down an ignorant man?

Nomino/Obama '08 ftw

Lessig has talked so much bullshit in the past it is impossible to take anything he says seriously.
Probably CIA.

This pessimist scenario echoes Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine"

Oh god Naomi Klein is even worse. How anyone can maintain credibility after writing No Logo, i do not know.

So where's this i9/11 I've been eagerly waiting for? I called BS and I stand by that call. Don't care where he graduated from, he was off his meds making a claim like that based on a single flimsy source.
