Interview with Lawrence lessig on Remixing Culture:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2005/02/24/lessig.html
What do you get when you mix P2P, inexpensive digital input
devices, open source software, easy editing tools, and reasonably
affordable bandwidth? Potentially, you get what Lawrence Lessig
calls remix culture: a rich, diverse outpouring of creativity
based on creativity. This is not a certain future, however.
Peer-to-peer is on the verge of being effectively outlawed.
Continuation of the current copyright regime would mean that vast
quantities of creative content will be forever locked away from
remix artists.
Lessig is joining the battle for the remix future on several
fronts: the court battle on the legality of P2P; another legal
battle to free "orphan works" from their copyright gulag; rolling
out new Creative Commons "sampling licenses" with the help of
big-name artists like David Byrne; and supporting the "free
culture" work of Brazilian musician and culture minister Gilberto
Gil toward a society based on freedom of culture.
