@rycka1983 It is an extreme. One extreme is saying that all rights are reserved and not letting anyone do anything with your work. The other extreme is blatently refusing to honor that principle.
@ckildegaard OK, let it be extreme, but it is not negative extreme. But of course, I agree, that if somone makes money from your work, they should be punished. If it is for nonprofit, it should be allowed.
@rycka1983 I agree as well, if it is not for profit, it should be legal. But unfortunately that's how it is. And breaking the law isn't going to help the case.
@rycka1983 but what about he gaining profit on your work while making free advertisement of it, like the people who make game reviews who have a partnership but at the same time will let you know if the product was worth it, people confuse plagiarism with just someone using your work.
the only thing in wich someone should be punished is by using the work of someone else and saying its his or hers, while earning profit out of it. but that can be avoided
@heavytransit reviewing work of others is absolutely out of piracy scope. I doubt that anyone would think that it is illegal.
I think the only thing in which someone should be punished is when you make profit out of somones work and when you tell that you are athe author. This is cheating on a big scale, yes.
@rycka1983 but thats not piracy thats plagiarism and has nothing to do with sharing on the internet.
thats one of the things that people are being misleaded to, piracy is the ilegal reproduction and sell of copyrighted material giving the authors credit of it.
plagarism is the use of someones work claiming its yours and earning a profit out of it.
on the internet non of this really happens because most people dont earn money by sharing files.
@rycka1983 and in the case of Megaupload for example they cant be held accountable for the sharing either, because they were not selling you the files shared in the website they sold you a faster download and upload of the files by giving you more space in their servers.
people were the ones who uploaded the content not the site owners, it is the same as youtube.
and they of course were not saying that the movies shared were theirs so…
@rycka1983 still there are some exceptions, plagiarism and piracy very much exist, but not in such a extreme way as they put it.
and of course this things can be avoided very easily but corporations dont give a fuck, they just want the competition out of the way, and thats why you see Megaupload being raided but bit torrent will keep existing forever because its owned by a big american corporation.
Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

I don't mind manga style in an art class. I just hate it when people don't try to give it their own spin. I remember in my high school, someone made pop art of a silhouette of Excel from Excel Saga trying to eat the Keith Haring dog. I consider that art. Outright tracing Edward Elric from a manga cover is NOT art.
good vid.. but evolution doesn't work like that for the loss of vocal cords. evolution doesn't work on some "use it or lose it" fashion. And theres no huge voiceless motherfuckers which would make them take over the population
The open forum for creativity is something that any artist would support. The idea of someone re-using my work is flattering. However, There is a dark side. This creativity, this work, is how I make my living. Owning the rights to my work is how I feed myself. I believe that there needs to be a "meta-data" that is traceable online. A way for everyone to follow the paper trail and see who all was involved. Give credit where due. We need to learn how to share with reciprocation..
@biz4m I agree that people should always get credit, but disagree that you should be able to withhold what you create unless someone feeds you first. The moment that you create art to feed and clothe yourself is the moment your art becomes a means to an end; i.e. no longer art. This is only even a viable debate in this age because we're all culturally conditioned to think that we somehow deserve financial reward for everything we do. Art and profit are oil and water. Starve artist, starve! ;)
While I liked the lecture, the screen was just insanely distracting. It was rather unnecessary to have certain words he spoke appear on the screen behind him.
@EllyYuki If YouTube wasn't under pressure by content producers, then I doubt they'd want to delete these videos! After all, YouTube became popular in the first place on this utopian vision of people being able to distribute their own content.
@EllyYuki Unfortunately if they do that they become liable for damages. The only way for the site to protect itself is to have a DMCA takedown procedure. So it's not YouTube that needs to listen, it's Congress.
For those who think using someone else's work isn't creativity, should check out Kutiman's songs. Also the opposite applies too as creating a song from scratch can still result it being unoriginal and uncreative.
tough time coming up with original content, which is REAL creation. Also, the youth today always wants something for nothing. Actually, most of Americans are getting on that bandwagon. People deserve to be paid for their original content and for its' use.
If the kids want freedom, let them CREATE THEIR OWN CONTENT! That is freedom.
@ddviolinist Creativity and education have a funny relationship nowadays. Look at the sidebar here >>>
there must be a video called "Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?", you might find it interesting, that is, if you didn't watch it already.
I don't think the youth are uncreative, I think they are being driven out of their potential by outdated teaching formulas. But that's just what I think ...
@DarkZholt IMO, teaching formulas in the schools have always limited potential. How could it not? I teach privately and get to work one on one, and I do teach a conductorless string ensemble as well, which teaches total responsibility, connection, or they fall apart. Teaching outside the box certainly opens the channels for true creativity. You get no argument from me there. But, even the kids I teach privately are shut down. IMO, from technology, texting. Whole different type of kid today.
@ddviolinist think I know what you mean, but the kids are not the ones to blame.
Nowadays, parents don't even see their children grow up, society and religion promove all kinds of segregation and dull the individual potential of kids, the media promoves weird stereotypes as role models and the economy and academic scenario pushes them to conformity. It's a whole lot of things that undermines the health development of the individuals, and the ones who suffer the most are the children themselves.
@ddviolinist They can't. You, as a teacher, should realize how restrictive art classes are, and art is in fact the greatest outlet for original content. However, your colleagues force us to make the art THEY chose for us, rather than saying, "Draw me a picture of any sort; I will grade you on it."
I DRAW MANGA. WELL.
Yet I get TERRIBLE grades in art, since I suck at, what's this, pointillism? Gradient shading?
I'm being restricted from creating my own content by YOU AND THE REST OF THE SYSTEM.
@uJustGotSushiRolld It depends upon the teacher. Most human beings aren't fresh and open. Get a classroom teacher that is fresh and open, and you have a creative class. I do know those types of teachers. People IN GENERAL, imo, are shut down and unevolved spiritually, if you will (in the broader sense), which closes down creativity. If it weren't so, we would have an entirely different world and world consequences. Please don't lump me into the "norm" of teachers, because I am not. I get
@uJustGotSushiRolld ....highly creative in my approaches. I try to reach the individual. Music in group is a bit tough to do this way, but it can be done. You have to be able to look into the eyes, see the soul, and teach to that energy. Most people, NOT JUST TEACHERS, can't do this. Consequences are, lack of creativity, acceptance of difference, wars, hatred, greed, fear, global meltdown. If you are in the USA, for now at least, you can still create your own content. Grades are useless.
@uJustGotSushiRolld If your art teacher grades you on the quality of your work rather than the attempt and effort put into it, you have a really terrible art teacher. No teenager should get failing grades because they can't use certain techniques "correctly".
Although, I must say that I think pointillism and shading are extremely important, but I would never fail someone for not being able to do it properly. It just takes practice, which is limited by the small amount of time spent in class.
@uJustGotSushiRolld Oh god I know your pain! I draw manga too. My best friend draws cartoons. We both CAN and are very good at drawing other stuff too, like pointilism and stuff like that. But it's boring and teachers always complain we don't try as hard. Cause we're bored with that stuff. It's like doing math to me if I have to draw squares and color them different colors. Thankfully my drawing class last year wasn't like that. My teacher allowed us to draw whatever we wanted. I drew yaoi :D
art classes teach you the basis of the art form.you cant do great things if you dontmaster the basis and know what preceded it. as a supposed "artist", its a little worrying that you brush off pointilism with the question "whats this?". Your work doesn't have to be modeled after good art, but keep this in mind: anxious, inexperienced artists obey rules; rebellious, unschooled artists break them (guess you); real artists master the form". if your serious, master the form 1st
oh... and come on. just because you draw manga doesnt make you an artist. so dont expect to get good grades just because you draw disproportionate bodies with big eyes... you really need to invest more in to learning all kinds of "drawings", and not just that "one". guess that is something people only understand after growing up a little
@wunderfantastike That comment is a little ignorant if you ask me. What is an artist? Someone who makes art. What is art? A manner of expression. Manga is a manner of expression and therefore someone who draws manga can be considered an artist. Who are you to say what is and what isn't art? Yes, it is good to learn diversity in art but it is also necessary that diversity be present for there even to be a choice to be made. If everyone discredited art, creativity and expression would suffocate.
im an artist, and say it out of experience. if might be an ignorant, but you clearly never created anything outside the toilet. I see arrogant self-righteous know-it-alls like you every day, that just produce any crap that comes to mind and, just because they made it, they expect everybody to aknowledge it as art. I mean you have the right to live ignored and in the belief that youre an artist. you can tell it to yourself if it makes you happy.doesnt make it so, though
@wunderfantastike Cute, but I'm not convinced. You've shown absolutely no pertinent points arguing your case and so I must conclude you are a troll. You have no idea who I am or what I've created and yet you persist on insulting me. Does that make you feel better about yourself? I'm always curious as to what people could possibly be thinking when they senselessly insult one another with their jibber-jabber. Please consider your words before spitting them out for everyone to see.
@wunderfantastike But by the way, I'm not saying you're wrong about your other post. I agree that it is important to do research to see how certain subjects and technics have been treated by great artists to understand why it's great. What I didn't appreciate however, was how you brushed him off as a non-artist for doing manga. You could have worded it much more nicely to give him a constructive comment. He was simply making, what was in my opinion, a valid point about the educational system.
@uJustGotSushiRolld Are you really? I'd turn that around and ask why are you letting yourself be restricted? School is school, but when you create your 'art' why do you need your teacher's permission or approval?
This is going to sound terribly rude which I don't mean to be, but if a teacher can stop you being an artist I can't imagine you were much of an 'artist' to begin with.
@FeralNelf Of course he was, but your example more or less makes my point. You can either try to address the art class creatively or if you really think your teacher is an idiot you can always just put in a minimal amount of effort to get a passing grade and otherwise ignore him.
But saying "He won't let me draw mangas so he's cramping my style" is just silly. And claiming that learning other techniques of drawing is restricting you as an artist is extremely small minded.
Being a teacher and professional musician, I can't agree with this guy. I have taught for 30 years now. I am only 49, but started in college while I was becoming a professional violinist. In those decades, I have seen kids regress into beings that have NO idea of who they are, can't answer simple questions, feel uncomfortable being in relationships face to face, and kids that can't focus to learn difficult tasks. There is nothing creative about using someone else's content. Youth today has a
takes time to do real any kind of real art. plagiarizing others work is not creative and are not worthy to be called artists. I hate this whole arts and crafts generation we have. What happened to learning how to do something and making your own original stuff. Every profession artist had to learn to do it. Culture some how feels entitled to use our work, which is garbage. You would have nothing without us so learn to respect the work.
for the youth the people under 30 something year old, copyright laws should be loosened b/c we see music for example as a means to communicate and not to take money away from successful artists
@uJustGotSushiRolld yeah but as a 23 year old. i honestly dont think that music nor porn companies can really fight against illegal downloading or file sharing. For me, if you can "google it" then you can do it. We all know stealing is wrong but in the internet people dont see the immeidate effects of downloading b/c the govt. is breaking down their doors like if you were searching terrorism and/or child porn.
Just watch the documentary movie "zeitgeist moving forward" here on youtube. You'll see much better way for many points in people life, and spread the word that things are going to change one way or another.
this guys idea of creativity seems limited. what if that anime didn't use that EXACT piece of music and they got a friend (or random people on the internet?) to make a similar sounding piece and drew parodies of the characters? would that not be more creative (and also bring others in on a creative project)? but no we dont have time for all that learning or interacting stuff. not creating for profit doesn't = "more creative." btw.
also he took what sousa said out of all context. For shame!

@mindnumber9 satan only exists to christians, what dont yall get? we dont believe in your silly fairy tales satan and god is both within us and we have the absolute power to decide its at most just a good book of metaphors for life
@jmuckeroy it's much too terrifying and horrifying to accept & understand that a being known as "satan" IS a real, physical being. it goes to show how poor-minded humans are - that they'll deny the existence of truth, yet believe they evolved from apes. that's truly retarded.
@mindnumber9 its not that its terrifying or horrifying it's too stupid and irrational to even waste thoughts on...haha "deny the existence of truth"...and what factual information do you base this "truth" on? Have you seen satan? Do you talk to "it" often?? If you haven't or don't then you should probably shut the fuck up with your dumbass atttempts to humor your own ego with irrational statements..
@mindnumber9 sigh, you just dont get it. if you were born in any other culture whatever boogy man there was in that society you'd be babbling on to me about how i should know that he truely exists, in a place below the earth with eternal flames and doom... lol cmon yo. grow up, you still believe in santa too? you cant proove this so called truth to me, and until you can do that, or jesus can do that, im over it. just learn about the history of your religion and peice together it for yourself.
@jmuckeroy sorry a.h. - i didn't have a camera by my side for a moment i couldn't predict. a.h.
it has nothing to do with "religion" nor does it have anything to do with santa claus. i didn't say anything about eternal flames and doom, YOU did and that goes to show wtf you DON'T know. a.h.
the fact remains; humans did NOT evolve from friggen chimps, monkeys or apes. and YES satan the devil IS real and i'm pretty sure it DIDN'T evolve from a lizard. get an education, a.h.
@mindnumber9 when did this become a debate about religion, it's about media and new methods of gaining access to it in Lessig's opinion, the same way you say it's restarted to think we evolved from apes, I ask you to prove God and I am a semi religious believer myself apart from faith which means basically believing without proof we can either but still thats not the point of this video.
But really? The 20th century as a century of lack of creativity in that it is a "read only" culture? Seriously? Almost all his conclusions I agree with; but the 20th century is to date the century of greatest, or more certainly, the FASTEST growth and change in creative output when it comes to art, technology, and human endeavors. Sousa was dead wrong. So was Lessig when he agreed with him. Interestingly enough, Lessig came to good conclusions.
Ya, In comparison to today, where everybody has access to computers and means of media production...
the majority of 20th Century can be seen as a "read only" culture... Look at all of the songs that are made of samples from the 20th Century... if 20th Century was such a "read write" culture, you'd be hearing every band @ the time sampling Beethoven or Mozart...
@n2ek10 Absolutely not. The issue here is not sampling. I agree with Lessig that copyright restrictions today are more restrictive than they should be, and that this is harmful overall. But to agree with Sousa that we lost creativity because of these "talking boxes" is keeping your eyes closed. The 20th century (again, I state) was the century where we have seen the most innovation in art, music, technology, medicine, science... the list goes on.
How about this idea? Have the discipline to learn an instrument beyond an "amateurish" level. Or learn how to make films. Taking other people's music and images is NOT creative.
i'm sort of with you on that. it's just annoying when he gives his specific examples and it's the dumbest shit in the world. but in a way, it does illustrate his point about how his generation is getting left behind: the very fact that he chose dumb shit as his example.
this is just a regular guy posing as a smart smart guy by being long-winded. the best ted talks i've seen so far are david blane and the one about crows.
wouldn't put it past 'em actually. have you ever been in an academic environment like harvard? cuz i have. now, i was english major, and i wouldn't call those people charlatans because they're not consciously deceptive. however, it takes a certain level of obliviousness to write 150 pgs on the symbolism of gastronomy in king leer. that's the type of long-windedness i'm talking about in acadmeics. they luv it. i just got a similar vibe here. he could explain all this in 3 mins. that's all i mean.
When you have computer software for recording studios that can pitch-correct vocals and fix bad notes here and there, it definitely takes away from the raw, human element. Then you have electronic music, which is totally computer or MIDI keyboard based, with no organic instruments, and it all sounds so robotic and stifled of creativity. To each their own, but I'd rather hear a real piano than a keyboard mimicing a piano sound.
Boy, talking about private solutions, not looking to the gov for a fix, the ad conum doctrine of property rights... This guy sounds like an Anarchist! Thumbs up!
I don't know why Lessig is using video of military bombers when he's talking about commercial airliners. It sort of refutes his point; an invading army would be considered trespassers. What a goof.
Man, I don't know if you can really separate this whole recreating thing from piracy. I mean, infrastructure-like, the two feed off of each other hardcore. That AMV was probably done with pirated footage.
@Myka138 There are clearly different levels of creativity in how material is reused. The examples included in this video are all fairly creative without being major works of art. A music remix that just adds a disco beat is obviously far less creative. If someone profits by presenting someone else's material as their own without creative modification they should be stopped. If they make no money, acknowledge their sources and add creativity [ eg "cover videos" on YT] they should be left alone.
@Myka138 Nearly every play by Shakespeare is an adaptation of an earlier plot or play. Nearly every work of medieval literature is a "remix" of an earlier version of the story. The creativity is in how the old material is reused. It is virtually impossible to create anything that does not build upon the work of others.
Copyright law is wrong in the internet age. Every time your watch a video you have made a copy of it, from the server to your pc. That's a copy right? Oh shit i have stole this video because i have only seen 4 minutes of it and its fully downloaded.
i think that the answer is in the talk. Yes it is very corrosive to be breaking the law as a way of life but until we get a president or priminister that is 22 years old the government and law makers wont get it. and the only way to show them is the way it is done now. And for now the only way for the them to have law abiding citizen is putting every one that's under 40 in prison. now when they realize this they might give up there prehistoric way of doing things
@lef0u1 The problem isn't age, it's corporate influence. Lessig is over 40 but he gets it. Many copyright opponents and open-source advocates are in their 60's. I think a 22 year old President surrounded by corporate lobbyists and economic advisors would make exactly the same mistakes as our current leaders.
Where I live everything's free, even the magic. As long as you pay 55 dollars to get in. And you have to leave by midnight, no exceptions. And if you don't, if you try and hide, they will find you they will get you and they will throw your ass out of there. What am I talking about? There's nowhere to hide. They know that. They make you feel you know it too. They trim the bushes so thin.

They make you feel you know it too. They trim the bushes so thin.
The problem with Lessig's argument is that the point Sousa was really making is that the general public would no longer sing on their porches, not because they would no longer have to, as the "talking machine" would replace the need, but rather that the general public would become too lazy to continue singing if they had the machine to do it instead.
@Stvkrn that's less a problem with his argument and more a problem with his example (via parallel)
arguing that wasn't Sousa's motive (if you were to know it) doesn't make the basis on which the argument stands - the read/write culture - less credible
It's awesome how there's a guy wearing a Shrek mask when Jesus was singing I Will Survive because that song was in Shrek! (That sentence has never been said before.) :D
It's funny how he uses anime music videos as an example. The Japanese publishers of manga and anime are generally very easy-going, allowing a huge market of so-called "doujin" works, which are largely based on existing series. They realize that it only makes the potential market for the original works even bigger.
@Nannirk He is probably referring to the fact that YouTube takes videos with copyrighted material down regardless of whether the video is being used under Fair Use. It's not necessarily YouTube that is doing it though. It's more or less the media/content owners who push YouTube to do so. It is a terrible thing to watch something like that happen on one of the largest and most vast digital landscapes to hit the internet so far.
@justinbeck1991 they probably didnt really paid attention to the message... they just got frustrated that theres wasnt any hot chics and/or explosions right away
It's taking the filtered narrative of influence of the corporate controlled mass media to create cogent messages that resonate as people realize how controlled and contrived the majority of media output is whether news or entertainment. The big fear on behalf of corporate media is loss of manipulative control and control = money i.e. buying patterns, cultural norm molding etc..
@yobhsiFehT duh... that is what liberals want. i know that it is hard for you americans to understand ideology behind politics, but liberals want to "liberate" the market, it only means what you think it means because of political reasons (it was needed to create a left wing in american ploitics) but IDEOLOGICAL liberals don't like the idea of a controlled market.
Wow, that came out of nowhere and was inaccurate and mean-spirited o.0
The American left is typically the side which advocates very strongly for government control of... um, pretty much everything. Obviously, as w/ any ideology, there are extremes, but that's very much the norm. HERE, anyway - I don't know where you're from, but American liberalism, in my observation, is often more about freedom from civic responsibility than freedom from injustice or other such virtuous ideologies.
@yobhsiFehT yes, you are partially right, but for only political reasons.
in a ideological point of view, it is impossible to be a liberal and a left wing person. liberalism is pure straight savaje capitalism. most of the liberals in america are ideological social-democrats, and there is nothing wrong with that
Well, since I was clearly speaking from a political POV from the very beginning, it was pretty unnecessary for you to nag at me about separate ideological issues, then, eh.?. And that's even assuming politics and ideology are as separable as you're claiming, which I doubt. I think they're pretty directly reflective of each other - or should be. Maybe if we had more people acting politically in accordance w/ their consciences, the world's political/ideological condition would improve.
@yobhsiFehT no complaint here, i completeky agree, there shold be ideology behind politics, that is why i "nag" people. this separation makes people stupid, nowaday nobody cares about political history because the hipocrytes change that shit
@KevinKaneCanada Didn't he mention to give the original content artists the option to allow non-commercial use of their products/music/etc, but not allow commercial use of them without consent first? That's a pretty solid, easy to understand solution if you ask me. KISS
@ChristRaper666 Thanks for pointing that out, because I missed where he mentions that. Lessig's presentation is well done, but he needs to make his call to action more salient.
@KevinKaneCanada I can't really agree with your last comment. I think Lessig's closing statements were eloquently spoken. However, I do think he should have focused a little more on the legal ramifications that the digital copyright infringement laws impose on the people who "remix" said content.
Showcasing "anime music videos" is an excellent example of how uncreative my generation can be.

I don't mind manga style in an art class. I just hate it when people don't try to give it their own spin. I remember in my high school, someone made pop art of a silhouette of Excel from Excel Saga trying to eat the Keith Haring dog. I consider that art. Outright tracing Edward Elric from a manga cover is NOT art.

The open forum for creativity is something that any artist would support. The idea of someone re-using my work is flattering. However, There is a dark side. This creativity, this work, is how I make my living. Owning the rights to my work is how I feed myself. I believe that there needs to be a "meta-data" that is traceable online. A way for everyone to follow the paper trail and see who all was involved. Give credit where due. We need to learn how to share with reciprocation..
biz4m 6 months ago
@biz4m I agree that people should always get credit, but disagree that you should be able to withhold what you create unless someone feeds you first. The moment that you create art to feed and clothe yourself is the moment your art becomes a means to an end; i.e. no longer art. This is only even a viable debate in this age because we're all culturally conditioned to think that we somehow deserve financial reward for everything we do. Art and profit are oil and water. Starve artist, starve! ;)

@DarkZholt IMO, teaching formulas in the schools have always limited potential. How could it not? I teach privately and get to work one on one, and I do teach a conductorless string ensemble as well, which teaches total responsibility, connection, or they fall apart. Teaching outside the box certainly opens the channels for true creativity. You get no argument from me there. But, even the kids I teach privately are shut down. IMO, from technology, texting. Whole different type of kid today.

@ddviolinist think I know what you mean, but the kids are not the ones to blame.
Nowadays, parents don't even see their children grow up, society and religion promove all kinds of segregation and dull the individual potential of kids, the media promoves weird stereotypes as role models and the economy and academic scenario pushes them to conformity. It's a whole lot of things that undermines the health development of the individuals, and the ones who suffer the most are the children themselves.

Yes, it is good to learn diversity in art but it is also necessary that diversity be present for there even to be a choice to be made.

Almost all his conclusions I agree with; but the 20th century is to date the century of greatest, or more certainly, the FASTEST growth and change in creative output when it comes to art, technology, and human endeavors.

@Myka138 There are clearly different levels of creativity in how material is reused. The examples included in this video are all fairly creative without being major works of art. A music remix that just adds a disco beat is obviously far less creative. If someone profits by presenting someone else's material as their own without creative modification they should be stopped. If they make no money, acknowledge their sources and add creativity [ eg "cover videos" on YT] they should be left alone.

The problem with Lessig's argument is that the point Sousa was really making is that the general public would no longer sing on their porches, not because they would no longer have to, as the "talking machine" would replace the need, but rather that the general public would become too lazy to continue singing if they had the machine to do it instead.

@Stvkrn that's less a problem with his argument and more a problem with his example (via parallel)

It's funny how he uses anime music videos as an example. The Japanese publishers of manga and anime are generally very easy-going, allowing a huge market of so-called "doujin" works, which are largely based on existing series. They realize that it only makes the potential market for the original works even bigger.

@xzooxyorkx What do you mean by that?

@Nannirk He is probably referring to the fact that YouTube takes videos with copyrighted material down regardless of whether the video is being used under Fair Use. It's not necessarily YouTube that is doing it though. It's more or less the media/content owners who push YouTube to do so. It is a terrible thing to watch something like that happen on one of the largest and most vast digital landscapes to hit the internet so far.

It's taking the filtered narrative of influence of the corporate controlled mass media to create cogent messages that resonate as people realize how controlled and contrived the majority of media output is whether news or entertainment. The big fear on behalf of corporate media is loss of manipulative control and control = money i.e. buying patterns, cultural norm molding etc..
Another great TED talk.

Three cheers for balance, though!

@yobhsiFehT duh... that is what liberals want. i know that it is hard for you americans to understand ideology behind politics, but liberals want to "liberate" the market, it only means what you think it means because of political reasons (it was needed to create a left wing in american ploitics) but IDEOLOGICAL liberals don't like the idea of a controlled market.
this is not new, idiot... -_-

Wow, that came out of nowhere and was inaccurate and mean-spirited o.0
The American left is typically the side which advocates very strongly for government control of... um, pretty much everything. Obviously, as w/ any ideology, there are extremes, but that's very much the norm. HERE, anyway - I don't know where you're from, but American liberalism, in my observation, is often more about freedom from civic responsibility than freedom from injustice or other such virtuous ideologies.
yobhsiFehT 8 months ago
@yobhsiFehT yes, you are partially right, but for only political reasons.
in a ideological point of view, it is impossible to be a liberal and a left wing person. liberalism is pure straight savaje capitalism. most of the liberals in america are ideological social-democrats, and there is nothing wrong with that

Well, since I was clearly speaking from a political POV from the very beginning, it was pretty unnecessary for you to nag at me about separate ideological issues, then, eh.?. And that's even assuming politics and ideology are as separable as you're claiming, which I doubt. I think they're pretty directly reflective of each other - or should be. Maybe if we had more people acting politically in accordance w/ their consciences, the world's political/ideological condition would improve.
yobhsiFehT 8 months ago
@yobhsiFehT no complaint here, i completeky agree, there shold be ideology behind politics, that is why i "nag" people. this separation makes people stupid, nowaday nobody cares about political history because the hipocrytes change that shit

Interesting use of many brief slides. But Lessig doesn't make any concrete recommendations. He ends without proposing a particular solution.

@KevinKaneCanada Didn't he mention to give the original content artists the option to allow non-commercial use of their products/music/etc, but not allow commercial use of them without consent first? That's a pretty solid, easy to understand solution if you ask me. KISS
ChristRaper666 1 year ago
@ChristRaper666 Thanks for pointing that out, because I missed where he mentions that. Lessig's presentation is well done, but he needs to make his call to action more salient.
KevinKaneCanada 1 year ago
@KevinKaneCanada I can't really agree with your last comment. I think Lessig's closing statements were eloquently spoken. However, I do think he should have focused a little more on the legal ramifications that the digital copyright infringement laws impose on the people who "remix" said content.
