Lawrence Lessig - Remix

PUNKCAST1477 - Nov 9 2008. The sixth lecture in Evan Korth's NYU Computers and Society course featured Professor Lawrence Lessig of Stanford University. His topic, the subject of his recent book, was "Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy."

The content industry has convinced industry in general that extremism in copyright regulation is good for business and economic growth. In this talk, Professor Lessig describes the creative and profitable future that culture and industry could realize, if only we gave up IP extremism.

Excellent lecture. Mr. Lessing is on the point. We must sepparate what is different in this new context and at the same time protect the creators and their work and effort.

If we don't, we may, as he says first, get only crap, or lost the economic incentive that artist and creators have.

It is a flawed society that causes art to be created within a financial means...

I have been waiting for some one to write about this exact thing. Thanks for putting up this video! I saw the author on the Colbert Report and immediately googled him. I am all for a multidisciplinary approach towards looking at how culture and media coevolve, and am probably to the left of Lessig in my dislike of the copyright laws. In fact, I think that knowledge and information of all kinds must be made free. But the major players in the economy have huge stakes in information control.
