Apparently Professor Lawrence Lessig is in the
songwriting business, as explained, in an account of a New England protest
march after the death of Aarom Swartz, titled “We all to honor our country”. The Site “Above the Law”, a story by Joe
Patrice on Jan. 22, 2014, explains the circumstances here. (See also Aug. 28.)
The actual audio is available here.
A radio station in New Jersey (WFMU) has made its
own parody if the “Happy Birthday” song to get around Time Warner’s copyright
claim (June 14, 2013).
An earlier book “An Army of Davids”, by Instantpundit’s Glenn Reynolds, mentions Lessig’s involvement
with the “Happy Birthday” song before 2006, in a discussion of FCC regulation,
controversial now in light of an appeal’s courts net neutrality ruling. I’ll
review the book soon, but that old story needs more digging.
