I just finished recording a podcast with Larry Lessig and the Berkman fellows about Wikileaks. It should be online within a day or two.

We figured we’d share what we’ve gathered so far as a FAQ, and we’ll update it as we learn more or get corrections. Feel free to leave new questions in the comments and we’ll aim to work those in too. Factbox: Impact of U.S. Internet rules.
