Lessig’s words “the tools of creativity have been democratized” struck a chord. It used to be that ideas were expressed solely from one person to another. Today, the overwhelming amount of UGC is amazing. However, he reminded us that the draconian copyright laws have made us into passive criminals. He captured a sentiment I never truly gave a thought. Youtube contains content that dangerously flirts with copyright infringement. Content made out of passion, and hopefully not motivated by financial gains. Fortunately, fair use guide lines do permit us some leg room. Despite this, many people take more than the inch they’re given. Lessig addressed this extremism and argued against it. Slightly behind him was an image of Andy Warhol, thought provoking. However, all he did was just copy and paste. Nonetheless, he effectively expressed revolutionary ideas.
