How Creativity is Being Strangled by the Law

It is important to understand what the possibilities are when we decide how to present ourselves on the Internet. This blog is intended to inform you not only about the technical issues of New Media, but also to introduce the complex social and legal issues as well. No one is more of an expert on these matters than Larry Lessig. In this video, How creativity is being strangled by the law, he presents the context into which much of New Media fits. He addresses both the social and legal aspects and hints at a possible solution, Creative Commons, which he invented.

While this video is twenty minutes I think it is well worth watching for those who wish to keep abreast of what is happening and understand the amazing possibilities we have now.
