Who is Lawrence Lessig?

I used Google to gather some background information on Lawrence Lessig. I typed in "Who is Lawrence Lessig" and clicked on Wikipedia to find my answer.

Lessig is currently the director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics, and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Prior to that, he was a professor at Stanford Law School where he founded the "Center for Internet and Society." He is best known for for his proposed concept of "Free Culture," which supports free software, open spectrum and reduces legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum. Lessig is also known for using a style of computer presentations typified by rapid display of short phrases or pictures.

It may have worked just as well to just type the name into google to avoid any extra words throwing off the search, but this obviously worked just fine
