Lawrence Lessig's Weblog
This blog comes straight from the Stanford Law professor, a strong and vocal advocate of open source and the Commons. The material covers issues in intellectual property, law, and public policy. The posts tend to be short and sweet, and Lessig puts the complete text of each post in the item description and hence the RSS feed. To find the ID for a post, click on its date tag and use the 6 digits that follow the .shtml# at the end of the resulting URL.
