http://www.ted.com Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of "three stories and an argument." The Net's most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the "ASCAP cartel" to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you've ever seen.

I think he may have overestimated that all 'kids' want to remix existing material. As a 'kid' I guess I can say that. But what's really good about this speech is that he addresses the way in which all of these websites are such amazing resources because they allow anybody to contribute to culture and youth culture - by boradcasting videos on youtube, or a creating myspace page, or blog. Awesome.

It is very interesting; creativity can be assisted by the internet, namely, user content, and how kneejerk reaction to copywrite infringement claims can kill creativity. The content carrier should always make sure that something claimed as a copywrite violation is not, in reality, fair use. Good commentary, I'm glad near the end the speaker did stop inflecting his voice upward at the end of each sentences.

This is the most important issue of our day. Our government is controlled by the media because those that don't get the entertainment industries approval CAN NOT get elected for prohibition to exposure via vital media such as TV and radio. I don't want to call it a fix all, but the passiveness to this control by the media bleeds into many issues that have resulted in entertaining further bad policies by example of what we have had to endure from the media. Lessig, you NAILED IT! You are my hero.

Great article in WSJ on 10/11/2008 -- screw Universal Music, Prince, Van Morrison, NFL Films and the rest of those copyright-happy rats! They are little wretches!! The law needs to be updated, so they can all sit home and torture ants instead! Fuck them all! And fuck You Tube too for kowtowing to them!
