The Guardian has a brief article today on the US copyright law and the Creative Commons. Nothing really new here but a few good statements, such as “the production of ideas relies on two opposing ingredients: not just a system of ownership, which allows people to profit from their creations, but also a healthy public domain, which provides the raw material that ideas spring from, and where free collaboration can bring new ideas into being.”

The article closes with a quote from Lawrence Lessig:

“Culture,” Lessig has said, “is remix. Knowledge is remix. Politics is remix. Everyone in the life of producing and creating engages in this practice of remix. Companies do it. Politicians do it … We all do it. This is what life is in the expression of creativity. Remix is how we live”.
