Instead of protecting certain industries against competition and ensuring they can make the most money, hereby cultivating a permission culture, our goal should be to encourage a free culture in which past creations can serve as inspiration and the building blocks of new creations.

What is the line between plagiarism and using past creativity as inspiration: How much use of previously existing content is too much use?

One sentence summary: Lessig argues that outdated ownership laws limit cultural freedom as technology, primarily the internet, advances.

Discussion question: Do you agree with Lessig that our creative culture has become restricted as predicted in 2004, if so can you think of an example?

Group 6

Summary: The internet is a tool that encourages the building of culture based on preexisting ideas and in this way simulates a free market that is now being threatened by corporations seeking to manipulate the internet in order to bolster their own control over our culture.

Question: Do you personally feel that Lessig’s statement that our culture is becoming decidedly less free is true? Do you have personal experience to support your assertion?

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Technology today is blurring the line between property and piracy which is causing a decrease in our free culture. </span>

How can we maintain our free culture as technology continues to progress and the line between property and piracy continues to blur?

Group 5:
Summary:
The law and capital interests are working together to regulate intellectual property in such a way that stifles creativity due to outdated copyright laws, which once applied to print sources, no longer applying to the dynamic ownership of the internet.
Question:
By making online accounts or applying for social media, are you tacitly giving consent for your information to be used in a creative function?
