A walkthrough of Lessig's concept of "Free Culture" - that creativity builds on the past. Lessig argues that we are becoming a "permissions culture", and we have been far removed from our tradition of being a "free culture". His major point: that by fighting a "war" against piracy, the record industry is in fact damaging the future of creativity.
Artists, he explains, understand that creativity always builds on the past. And if given the choice, they would look for alternatives to the record industry war. In a speech at New York Public Library, he explained - â€We need less Lessigs and more artists†.
