Dear Free Software Supporter, As you know, we've been collecting videos from prominent FSF supporters on the importance of the free software movement and FSF's work. We just received an excellent video from legal scholar Lawrence Lessig--it's short and really worth watching:
<http://www.fsf.org/appeal/2009/lawrence-lessig?> If you like it as much as we do, promote it on Reddit and Digg: * Digg: <http://digg.com/software/Defining_the_Contours_of_Freedom_Larry_Lessig_video_appeal> * Reddit: <http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ai8r9/the_free_software_foundations_work_represents_the/> This is big-picture. Lessig calls our movement "the most important work for freedom that this culture... has seen in many many generations" because it is "defining the contours of freedom" that most people will know. Lessig also explains how free software inspires and provides a basis for work (like his own work as founder of Creative Commons) to further expand freedom in areas like music, art, education and science. This video is great for people who know about Creative Commons but don't know the free software movement, or for people who know what free software is, but don't grasp the vision behind it! Please, share it with your network: <http://www.fsf.org/share/?u=http://www.fsf.org/appeal/2009> And of course--if you're inspired by this video as we are--spread freedom by joining Lessig and thousands of other free software supporters in becoming a Free Software Foundation member. <http://fsf.org/join> Thank you, Peter and the Free Software Foundation team -- Peter Brown Executive Director Free Software Foundation www.fsf.org www.gnu.org info-fsf mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-fsf
