Strangling Creativity by Law

Lawrence Lessig discusses how creativity is slowly being strangled by...law. It's really about control...control of content, control of its creation, and yes, the money derived. The Internet Mr. Lessig claims is a chance to revive the read-write culture that Souza romanticized as a culture of amateurs, not an amateurish culture, but a culture of amateur artists and designers and creators and innovators.
