Colbert forbids Lessig remix, thus guaranteeing it

Fun with New Economics

This is a fun example of the war between the old guard and the new economy.  Laurence Lessig and Stephen Colbert star in this ‘unauthorized’ remix of an interview originally done on the Steven Colbert show.  Lessig has recently published a new book called Remix, noting how our Congress continues to pass antiquated copyright laws that inhibit creative expression, the legitimate creation of value, and reduce the creative potential of our youth.  Lessig was already my hero for his outspoken comments on the need for a complete removal of the FCC.  Now, he adds icing to the cake with this interview and his new book.
