He gets a mention in Catherine Raffaele's submission "Free Trade Agreement 
could stop Australians from using "Happy Birthday"":

"Lawrence Lessig is the Stanford law professor who led the unsuccessful 
Supreme Court challenge. He chillingly notes in his new book, Free Culture, 
that while a million patents are set to pass into the US public domain in 
the next 20 years, no copyrights are now set to do so."
