According to the article “Comparing Cultures” by Lessig, he gives many interesting points about the difference between RO and RW which are two different type of creativity. He points out that RO is more serious and professional and RW is from both professionals and amateurs. This resource difference causes the value of these two categories spread in different way. Under RO, the creativity is limited by professional rules and kids learn knowledge from school base on these limited rules. However, the RW spirit is different. Without the limitation, but still keep the professional quality, the creation can be so random and amazing and could be something we have never seen. Even the source of RW creation is not original, but the process of remixing different old creations can become a brand new creation and it could be outstanding. Unfortunately, RW limited by law. Not every single piece of RW work can be allowed because it might offend the finder of original source. We need to find a way to solve this puzzle because the creative environment that RW could provide is incredible. The police maker should find a way to make both mix-creation legalized and keep it professional at the same time.
I agree with your opinion that creativity is limited by traditional rules and regulation. I think often times we are limited as humans to break the mold that is our social influences and create something new. When this does occur though, there is often a time of indifference or confusion, as change is approached differently by all. Through remixing, humans do have more ability to be different and create a new ideology. Without it, norms would remain as norms or shackles.
I kind of agree with your idea about the creativity limitation, and also find interesting on sliu’s comment. the limitation from society and the rules that are already deep in people’s mind are big aspect influence man’s creativity.
