In April 2006, the Institute held a two day symposium about copyright and intellectual property, titled Comedies of Fair Use. 

The event began with a keynote address by Lawrence Lessig, who currently teaches at Harvard Law School. Lessig is the author of twelve books, and his work has had an enormous impact on discussions of intellectual property and, more recently, the challenge institutional corruption presents to democracy.
