Remix

Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy

Lawrence Lessig

This authoritative book by Lawrence Lessig sheds light on the damaging culture war between creators and consumers of art. Our outdated copyright laws now criminalize actions that were once protected, hindering creative individuals from using new technologies to build on previous works. Remix is a compelling call to action to end this war, and to view art as a shared resource rather than a commodity. The book offers an inspiring vision of a world where endless opportunities await those who embrace this philosophy.

About what it means to take something someone else has created and make it your own. He’s a legal scholar, and he’s talking about intellectual property laws, copyright, fair use, etc., but he’s also quite insightful about the creative process in general.      source
