Lessig is More Redux:
February 12th, 2002
Lawrence Lessig, who I’ve written about before is starting a service, called Creative Commons, which “will make available flexible, customizable intellectual-property licenses that artists, writers, programmers and others can obtain free of charge to legally define what constitutes acceptable uses of their work.” Interesting concept. I like the grassroots approach to remedying the mess that we call copyright law, because all the legislation related to copyright is basically written by corporations who don’t have the artists rights and benefits in mind.
