The Future of Ideas
"Free Culture" is the title of an enlightening conference by Lawrence Lessig, a lawyer. It's refrain is:
- Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
- The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
- Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
- Ours is less and less a free society.
The same lawyer about the Internet:
When the content layer, the logical layer, and the physical layer
are all effectively owned by a handful of companies, free of any
requirements of neutrality or openness, what will you ask
then? »
