Michael Stuart Kelly Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Copyright, Lessig and Web 2.0The following video is a presentation Lawrence Lessig (founder of Creative Commons) gave at Google in October 2006. It is still more than valid. It is an elementary education in copyright concepts. The video is a bit long (about an hour—61:04)), but it is fascinating. I guarantee, if you are not familiar with Lessig's line of reasoning, you will be challenged on some of your copyright beliefs in ways you never thought about before. Some day it will be interesting to analyze and compare Rand's view of intellectual property against this new approach. It is also interesting that Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia and staunch Rand admirer, was one of the first people to utilize this new approach in a big way.Authors@Google: Lawrence LessigRelax and enjoy. This is something that is changing the world as we know it and making it better.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
