Video: Lawrence Lessig - On Free, and the Differences between Culture and Code
This presentation is very impressive. I have waited a long time for such a consistent and effective presentation about intellectual property and freedom in a modern view. There is no doubt that in the World as it exists today current laws for intellectual property and copyrights simply do not work.
The reality is that we are living a true revolution, new forms of expressions emerge from the old World. Re-editing, mixing, re-mixing of trailers, music, photographs, original works, textbooks, wikis, poems, films. Today anyone who has a computer or a Mac can democratically create art and distribute it without having to pass through the traditional media system.
Lawrence Lessig is indeed a great character. He has presence, consistent and direct speech, he also provides a fun presentation and he's truly open the the questions the audience comes up with. He even mentions Anime Music Videos!
Bravo Lawrence, this is exactly what the community needed.
