Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law

Even though he doesn’t come right out and say it, Lessig makes a great argument for Creative Commons License. In a world where distribution is implicit, copyright law seems like such an incredible failure.

As budding filmmakers, artists, musicians, you will need to understand the dimensional shift that has happened. You can try all you want to hold on to the past, but you will eventually die. Change is coming and the only hope is to embrace it.

How? Find something that’s better than free.

    At first I liked the sound of this. Creative Commons is revolutionary in trade and legal terms; and then it turned. It is typical of commerce to embrace, constrict and then suffocate cultural innovation(s).
    I guess not work but imagination will make you free.
