Lessig and Colbert Interview and Remix
Two of my heroes appeared together on the Colbert Show to comically speak about a very serious issue. Copyright lawyer Lawrence Lessig joined Stephen Colbert to promote his new book: Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in a Hybrid Economy. Just as RiP: A Remix Manifesto alluded to, we are turning children into criminals with our copyright laws. Lessig takes it one step further and points out that in ten years we haven’t gain any ground in moving this issue further. Remixing is the building blocks of creativity.
Here’s the interview and of course, the remix of the interview.
