Remix Discussion

This TED video is very powerful and professional to describe development and commercialization of telecommunications technology. Lessig talks about the society transfer from “read-write culture” to “read-only culture” He also claims that for a real read and write culture, it should be full of love and none profit. For the progress of technology, it is easy to use other’s idea in someone’s own creation. He do not against the piracy, he said that people always break the law everyday. Is “remix” is a bad behavior or not?

I think it is shameful that to steal other people’s idea or creation. The people create things with their brain storm and their experience. When other people steal it, the creation of other people has been blocked. This  behavior is bad for people’s innovation. A creation is someone’s value and achievement. The people who steal it or copy it without permit is immorality, and this is also disrespect to the creator. If the people remix things together just for fun or entertainment and with none profit, I think it is feasible.
