How Creativity is Being Strangled by Law

I thought this video made a few great points. First, that the Internet has brought back the read only culture to the read-write culture. There is now user generated content, amateur culture is celebrated, and we are using technology to say things differently. I especially enjoyed the examples that followed this point, and if you don't listen to the article, at least watch the videos, they are quite entertaining. The two proposed changes, for artists to make their work more freely accessible and for businesses to embrace this opportunity so that free content can grow, makes a lot of sense. With "competition creating balance" these changes could allow for new technologies in the future.
