Transparency and technological change: Ensuring equal and sustained public access to government information (2010, background): “For example, in Lessig (2002), in a forecast that clearly turned out to be less than accurate, predicted that “AOL Time Warner and Microsoft— [would] define the next five years of the internet's life” (p. 267).”
Do Formal Intellectual Property Rights Hinder the Free Flow of Scientific Knowledge? An Empirical Test of the Anti-Commons Hypothesis (2007, neutral): “Specifically, the anti-commons hypothesis states that IPR may inhibit the free flow and diffusion of scientific knowledge and the ability of researchers to build cumulatively on each other’s discoveries (Heller and Eisenberg, 1998; David, 2003, 2000; Lessig, 2002; Etzkowitz, 1998; Krimsky, 2003).”
Unlearning how to teach (2008, background): “In Lessig’s ( 2001 ) terms, the user becomes the producer.”

Keynote paper: Unlocking the learning value of wireless mobile devices (2003, background): “The Internet offers a great experimental playground of networking possibility (Lessig, 2001); it has proven to be an incredibly malleable and productive infrastructure.”
Research Commentary - Digital Infrastructures: The Missing IS Research Agenda (2010, background): “Ongoing digitalization challenges the separation of disciplines, for example, between communication and media studies, information systems , and telecommunications engineering—three disciplinary fields associated with the interrelated content , code, and physical infrastructure layers (Lessig 2001).”
An Economist's Guide to Digital Music (2004, methodology): “Both models use DRM to determine the amount of copyrighted work that has been flowing over the ISP network and have been advocated for instance by Lessig (2001).”
Re-constructing digital democracy: An outline of four ‘positions’ (2011, neutral): “…(for example, Fernandez et al., 2004; Fuller, 2004; Hall, 1996; Plant, 1996), communitarian (see Dahlberg, 2001a), cyber-liber-tarian (see Dahlberg, 2010), liberal digital commonism (for example, Benkler, 2006; Lessig, 2001), and postmodern (for example, Nguyen and Alexander, 1996; Poster, 2001).”
Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom? An Early Look at Large Numbers of Software App Developers and Patterns of Innovation (2012, neutral): “15 “Digital technology,” Lessig (2001) writes, “could enable an extraordinary range of ordinary people to become part of a creative process,” and von Hippel (2005) emphasizes that “even individual hobbyists have access to sophisticated design tools… With relatively little training and practice,…”
The Wisdom of Consumer Crowds (2008, background): “Indeed, as Langenderer and Kopp (2004, 28) wrote in their comprehensive analysis of online file-sharing, “virtually all creation is based to some extent on the previous creations of others” (see also Lessig 2002).”

Design theory for dynamic complexity in information infrastructures: the case of building internet (2010, background): “Lessig (2001) and David (2001) note the criticality of Internet’s architectural features – especially its end-to-end architecture – in supporting adaptability at the ‘edge of chaos’ (Saltzer et al., 1984).”
Modeling a Paradigm Shift: From Producer Innovation to User and Open Collaborative Innovation (2010, background): “The transition from the chaotic, fertile early days of radio in the United States when many voices were heard, to an era in which the spectrum was dominated by a few major networks—a transition pushed by major firms and enforced by governmental policy making—provides a sobering example of what can h”
