Everything is a Remix - Final

Posted by Michael Conaghan on 17th February 2012 12:38am

The fourth and last installment of the "Everything is a Remix" series on intellectual property is finally here. It isn't necessary but if you have not watched the three other excellent episodes I suggest you do. The first, second and third can be viewed at their respective links.

The latest video discusses the nature of the problem, and what to do next.

"Our system of law doesn’t acknowledge the derivative nature of creativity. Instead, ideas are regarded as property, as unique and original lots with distinct boundaries. But ideas aren’t so tidy. They’re layered, they’re interwoven, they’re tangled. And when the system conflicts with the reality… the system starts to fail."
