Coming Out as Survivor

Lawrence Lessig is a human being I admire; a person with whom I should one day like to have lunch; a thinker, lawyer, lecturer, activist, author and teacher @ Stanford

Legally and philosophically he presses his mind against the important issues of the day, among them Intellectual Property and the U.S. Congress.

And now I learn he's also one of us.

In the context of this videoblog, Lessig is introduced to you as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who's come out of the closet. Bigtime.

At the time of the NY Magazine article (2005), Lessig's family didn't know.

At the time of the NY Magazine article, New Jersey charities were immune from lawsuits. Thanks to Lessig, not any more.
