On Laws that Choke Creativity

Larry Lessig quotes and gives information on how laws are holding us back as designers. Most significant thing to recognize is that the internet is recreating the read write Suza was talking about. Digital technology can help revive what he had talked to congress about. We are able to celebrate people and for the love of what they are doing and not just because they have to do it. As designers we are able to recreate and mix things together to make something that we want.

People taking and recreating to say something that they want to get across. He does not focus on people "stealing" songs or images but using those things to advance our creativity and speak. He says it is what we are and how we think.

Now the architecture of copyright thinks that we are stealing and copying. There is a growing extrimism with the law and use of the technology's. The economy of influence and policy makers will not understand and the solution is a private solution to legalize what it is like to be young again. There need to be two changes, artists and creators embrace the idea that their work be made available more freely and the business that are building out the read write culture to enable it. That way the content of free culture can grow.
