First Amendment and Copyright

Lawrence Lessig and others have called on “the RNC & DNC to eliminate unnecessary regulation of political speech“.

While the First Amendment and copyright haven’t received much support from the courts, the area of copyrighted political speech perhaps holds the greatest potential for finding harmony in these seemingly disparate areas of law. Rather than risk future litigation, Lessig rightly has called for broad rights to political debates to enrich political discourse in the public. Please spend a few minutes promoting this worthy cause.
