Lawrence Lessig has been working in the area of copyright law for old age . He ’s the go - to guy rope for explanation of what ’s wrong with copyright constabulary , and how it might be changed to permit the kinds of US that are already happening all around us ( ahem , mashups , filesharing , remixes , etc . ) while retain of import right field for right of first publication holders . Lessig late wroteRemix , an appeal for rationality against a system that criminalizes today ’s shaver , make remixing illegal . Lessig latterly made an coming into court onThe Colbert Reportthat ’s worth a look – Lessig and Colbert make a good point about the conflict between a remix ( puddle something new ) and thievery . ( Note : for a much deeper discussion of the topic , check out theFresh Air interviewfrom December . ) But first , the Colbert interview :
And of form , because the whole level of this interview is remixing – building upon be work to create newfangled work – a series of remixes of the interview immediately look on-line .

And this one release the interview into a sort of chairwoman - dance execution :
Again , if you actually care about the topic I ’d really advocate listening to theFresh Air interviewwith Lessig . He ’s a smart guy with a good point . If you ’re concerned in Lessig ’s other work , agree outLessig on Obamafrom before the election .
