Lawrence Lessig: Re-examining the remix

http://www.ted.com At TEDxNYED, former "young Republican" Larry Lessig talks about what Democrats can learn about copyright from their opposite party, considered more conservative. A surprising lens on remix culture.

Great video. extremely informative like all Lawrence Lessig's videos

this is a needed reform in our intellectual property laws. it is RIDICULOUS that those kids who reformed a recreated movie clip are seen as criminals and are at risk of being sued. Millions of cases just like it, thankfully music industry no longer actually carries out the lawsuits anymore, but it doesn't make the act any less illegal.

I think most ppl commenting on this video do not understand his subtle (often ironic) reasons for politics. CC(creative commons) is seen as conservative even tho most supporters r democrats...also, he jokingly comments that republics regulate n "prevent" the market from spreading into certain areas which is supposed to be ironic b/c republicans r all pro-free market. The political reference is entirely ironic b/c these "republican ideals" r and SHOULD be liberal ideals
