Remixing Culture Discussion
categories: Unit 09
The video “Laws That Choke Creativity” presented by Lawrence Lessig. He argues that mass of laws could restrict creativity. Using others might cause the act of piracy and breaking copyright laws .However, the internet makes life easier, enriching knowledge on Internet library, creating novels based on others ideas and etc. I always feel that a good idea should be motivated by what he saw or heard instead of just thinking. If remixes ideas from others break the law, there will have less creative work. I am thinking it is better to have laws protecting the copyright rather than prohibit remixing.

Unfortunately, I would have to disagree when you say that “it is better to have laws protecting the copyright rather than prohibit remixing.” because there are so many artists that are working so hard to try to get original works, but their work just be used without paying by other people. But I agree when you say that remixing does not give off a lot of creativity. I think it is very important to protect copyright and do something for remixing. We don’t have clearly laws for such things because they are kind new, but we should have some laws in the future to protect original works.
