About Glenn:
Glenn Otis Brown is Executive Director of Creative Commons, a non-profit 
organization founded on the notion that some people would prefer to share 
their creative works (and the power to copy, modify, and distribute their 
works) instead of exercising all of the restrictions of copyright law. 

Glenn graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1996 and from 
Harvard Law School in 2000. At Harvard, Glenn worked at the Berkman Center 
for Internet and Society, and was a member of the Harvard Law Review. 
After graduation, Glenn worked in The Economist's Washington D.C. bureau 
before clerking for the Honorable Stanley Marcus on the Court of Appeals 
for the 11th Circuit, in Miami. Glenn is also assistant producer of 
Digital Age, a New York public TV show.
