Another of Lessig's that I really like is his introduction to a
discussion titled "Who Owns Culture?" He wrote an article of that title
for Wired Magazine which resulted in a discussion of the same at the New
York Public Library in April 2005.

The video is, again, his voice with the slides and covers some of what
the LinuxWorld keynote states. While triggering thinking about the
issue, it does not reach a conclusion because it is an introduction to a
discussion. You can find audio of the full discussion in various places
on the web if you want to listen to that part of it too.

The video introduction is available here: http://wilcoworld.net/wired/
and on Google video where you can save a copy to your computer:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6122403781064290619

A Google search on "who owns culture lessig" will provide many other
sources, including the audio of the discussion that followed.

These ideas of Free Software and Free Culture intertwine. I think they
are far more powerful than even we who follow, espouse or just benefit
from them imagine when we first enjoy them.
