Larry Lessig did a talk at TED in 2007 entitled How creativity is being strangled by the law.

I have two reasons for posting this talk on my blog.  First this talk feeds right into the other post I am making today regarding Michael Wesch's great talk about how the web is taking creativity, copyright and many other things off into an unimagined direction.  Secondly,  Larry Lessig well known for a certain type of presentation which has been deemed "The Lessig Method".  So his talk is also interesting to watch as a presentation method.   

He frequently uses white-on-black typewriter font and has the words type across as he talks in sync with it. But most importantly he uses phrases as anchors into his talk: the slides are signposts that let you glance up and pull out key words and ideas from his talk.

Dick Hardt took the use of anchors and sign posts to a whole other level in his talk Identity 2.0 presented at OSCON 2005.   Andrew Dugan of SixMinutes does a good analysis of  Dick Hardt's use of the Lessig Method.  I have embedded Dick Hardt's presentation below so you can watch it here.   His talk actually fits right into the this talk series of Lessig's and the one from Wesch in the next post.
