Larry Lessig, Tim O’ Reilly, and the article Seven Things You Should Know About Creative Commons  all bring up very detailed and accurate meanings on exactly why is it that copy-righted content is being tackled by the law. In Larry’s video and speech on how creativity is being strangled by the law, he discusses why we as humans in the digital technology world are considered to be named as “trespasser’s” and states how the “consumer is not the creator”. What Larry meant when he called us trespasser’s was simply because we as a “culture” do not always share credit on something that isn’t 100% our content. Some of us may make a video with one of our idols, but use a song that we clearly didn’t write or produce ourselves, and then set it out on websites such as YouTube, and give no one else partial credit for something that is actually  their own content. This is what Larry meant by us being trespasser’s, we do things without acknowledging the fact that this content/music or whatever else it may be isn’t ours. So as I read the article from Tim O’ Reilly I learned that web 2.0 is a “conference and trade show” where we as a culture participate to share information and collaborate without having boundaries by the law. Larry also elaborates on how “every single use of culture produces a copy”. By that he meant that everyone on this planet has a reputation of copy-righting, he states how it has become a growing extrusion and how we are using other peoples content to say things differently. Personally, I feel that there shouldn’t be a need for copy-righting, everyone is creative in their own way, I just feel that we are scared of what society considers to be creative or cool, and because of that we set our eyes on what has already been created, what exactly has been considered “creative” in the past.. and then from that we take the advantage to turn that into our own creation…little do we know that this is consider copy-right. In the article Seven Things You Should Know About Creative Commons I found it interesting how “higher education is rooted in the belief that the free exchange of knowledge is fundamental to the common good” I realized from this sentence that in schools teachers and professors are now evaluating their students, and giving frequent lessons and tactics on how crucial it is to share information to others therefore their would be less copy-righting and more ownership of something you have created. Creative commons are the ones who make it easier and deals with the “process of openness and sharing”. In this generation kids use tools to say things differently, and this is how they speak and think, according to Larry.  He also discusses with us the meaning of “auto-take down” in regards to the law  whether the consumers judgement was fair use for the content, the company will still take it down. Larry believes that the “artist choice is the key for new technology”, and I agree with him 100%, as I stated before we need to find our own hidden talents and use that to be creative. Their is never a right or a wrong when it comes to being creative or drawing a picture. If it comes from the heart and defines the type of person you are and how you feel, than consider that to be your first step towards creativity, and own it. It’s better to let your knowledge out and communicate with others so that we all can gather up ideas in discussing how the digital technology world can keep growing successfully without any un-fair limits.
