Creativity vs The Law

This is another video from TED.com entitled 'How creativity is being strangles by the law' spoken by Larry Lessig. He uses three anecdotes to try educate the audience about how children are using new technologies and how they are being faced with copyright laws and big businesses.

• We would lose out creativity via machines
• Read write vs read only
• Second best/ public domains can best major businesses
• Celebrating amateur culture- for the love not the money

• The revolt
• Builds new technologies- take down content
• Rejection of copyright
• Ignorance of laws
• Solution
• Competition can achieve balance
• Artists and creators embrace the idea of amateur use
• Businesses embrace and enable
