    Lessig is also quite well liked amongst many free-marketeers, and is a former libertarian himself, according to Ars Technica. As my lovingly rendered LOLshevik points out, Lessig isn't strictly against the concept of intellectual property, simply the gerrymandering of IP law by American media conglomerates. Still, he willingly accepts the honorific "comrade." Da? Here at Valleywag we'll be calling him "Uncle Larry."
