EXTRA POST: Do Copyright Laws Stifle Creativity?

Lawrence Lessig, Stanford law professor and copyright activist, discusses examples of "mash-ups" or "remixes" and their influence on popular culture.

The video stood out to me because it explores copyright laws in a modern context and asks the question, are copyright laws outdated?
