Well, Mr. Lessig, I would first like to congratulate you for your excellent presentation at the Universidad Catolica. It's been a time since I presenced such a good live Keynote such as yours.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that there's a lot of people here in Chile who really admire what Creative Commons have become (even though some of them don't even know you're the man behind it!). As always, there's people sceptic about it, so it's gonna take some time. Just wanted you to know that I "released" a "record" through the Creative Commons license. The apostrophies go because I'm just an amateur musician. :)

Anyway, you can listen to my work over here:

Professor Lessig, thanks for visiting Chile. By the way, I was the guy who asked you why you weren't using Linux in your laptop. I'm still searching for the singing presidents' video that you showed us on your presentation. Good one!

Thank you very much professor Lessig to visit Chile. Their presentations were really powerful. I want to thank for the words towards professor Flores, who is a great mentor for youth in Chile.

Hi, Mr lessig
I had the opportunity to watch (in my pc) your presentation, It was cool!!!. Why I say this? Because most of the international companies are working pretty hard in to cope these “strategic commercial areas” and, they have the resources and power to carry out that, but with such powerful tools as CC, it is possible to stop this avalanche. Just one example, the Netherlands every year is increasing its international patents instead of local innovation (local patents)..it is crazy, isn’t it? This country is taking advantage of “weak countries” with “weak law”, and “weak knowledge”. For sure my fellows will take “notes” about this relevant situation.

Good for me to discover (still a bit) a new world of possibilities.

Regards
Flavio Candia , Amsterdam.

"Chile has become a new favorite." (w00t!)

I've had the privilige of meeting Mr. Flores and working him in the past few months and the experience has been amazing. The best way to summarize him, is precisely the way you did: "Flores is a wise and careful thinker". Among other things, he's made me rethink the way I talk (I'd never given that much attention to language!). I'm currently reading his book Disclosing New Worlds: Entrepreneurship, Democratic Action, and the Cultivation of Solidarity.

It was also a privilige to see your speeches twice (I went to the Universidad Católica and the breakfast at Fundación Telefónica). I'd seen pretty much all your past speeches (or heard some of them) through the Internet, so it was great to finnally see you live! (I was the bearded freak who approached you at the end of both conferences!).

It was amazing how your quick visit created such big waves in Chile. One of my blogs (about technology), which usually never gets comments from lawyers, endend up with a (very interesting) 55 comment debate about your visit and copyright in Chile! I've talked to people over the weekend, and they all heard about you and your visit. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING!

Like Paolo points out, there's a 1 hour video of your conference at Universidad Católica (including Fernando Flores' introduction), here:

Wonderful!

I've been an admirer of Flores' work for some time. I am strolling my way through the Robert C. Solomon and Fernando Flores book, Building Trust in Business, Politics, Relationships, and Life (Oxford, 2001). I'm on page 122 of 154 + notes, thanks to Caterina Fake. I heartily recommend the book.

I think your opportunity to meet him is remarkable because you and the others at the source of Creative Commons are creating history. I would see him as supportive of that enterprise. I'm envious and I can give that up.

PS: I love that my recently-arrived CC T-shirt says "Commoner 2005." I was wearing it when Ottmar Liebert announced that he is going to be making new work available under a CC license (SA-NC, I fancy).
