In one episode of Ted Talks, Lawrence Lessig talks about the Laws That Choke Creativity. He mostly focuses on the issues of copyright law and shows how the ability to “remix” or use small segments of other’s creations allows us to creatively express ourselves. He compares it to ASCAP and the way that competition was able to bring the broadcasting arena to a new set of standards. He believes that we need to bring this idea into affect again, allowing remixing to use copyrighted material. My question in response to his speech is, how would we be able to regulate this. Copyrights are in affect for a reason, to avoid piracy. How would the government be able to allow one and not the other.
