Lawrence Lessig is an American academic and political activist. Many know him as the activist who is trying to reduce the legal restrictions regarding copyright, trademark, and radio frequency spectrum.
When reading part one of Lawrence Lessig’s remix, the main point that stuck out to me was how he related media to the binary terms Read/Write (RW) and Read Only. He states that Remix is a RW culture, however the government sees and other media distributers see it as RO. That is so because in RO, you cannot change the content. You can simply read/listen/watch the content and that is it.
I agree with Lessig that remix can be a good thing. Rewinding a bit to see how people learn, it is through repetition. During this repetition phase, we plagiarize other work so that we can learn through example and also see how we can derive and make our own path from it.
