Lessig on the Remix

Although the hook to this talk is the Republican/Democrat divide in the United States and where the divide sits in terms of copyright, that’s not what caught my attention. Lawrence Lessig’s exploration of copyright and remix from a political perspective happens to be a great vehicle for understanding the cyclical contemporary debate around fair use, licensing, and copyright. We think we understand the debate, but he skillfully guides us to a different place. Good stuff. Enjoy.
