Class thoughts on Lessig (Free Culture & Remix)

Creativity does not (only) equal (/=) originality

that is, if we term originality making something entirely new from scratch, out of thin air (& is there even such a thing as creating from thin air?)

Creativity can also = transformation; taking something and building on it

Lessig argues that corporate interests does not need to be pitted against non-commercial, public interests

He advocates a “hybrid” economy, where commercial and non-commercial not only co-exist, but thrive together. Flickr is an example.
