(2) In the World Intellectual Property Magazine, June 2015 issue, Guilda Rostama wrote an article titled "Remix Culture and Amateur Creativity: A Copyright Dilemma". In it, she claims that the "age of the remix", or what Lessig calls "Remix Culture", is nothing new. Ms. Rostama cites historical examples including "the arts and architecture of Renaissance Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries derive directly from Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece." [source: www.wipo.int] The problem with Ms. Rostama's claim that remix is nothing new is that she views remix primarily as a practice, while Lessig articulates that Remix Culture has technology and the Internet in its DNA, an important distinction. Remix Culture is therefore an amalgam of practice, creativity, "read/write" culture, and the hybrid economy.

Not really a FAIL, but the summary here only shows the dead URL, not the working archived URL for a one-click verification, and title=archive-copy required a manual intervention. –Be..anyone 💩 17:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minor error

Perhaps someone is aware of this but Lessig's birthdate is listed as both June 3, 1971 and June 3, 1961 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Satresrook (talk • contribs) 02:56, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CUNY Graduate Center Class discussion

This is a new discussion section for students in the ITP Core 1 Seminar who are going to be adding a few sentences to this page. --Theredproject (talk) 23:19, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Our focus is going to be on Remix Culture.

I am thinking that this would be a good spot expand his view on why it is a "desirable concept for society". Alone that sentiment feels incomplete, and we can cite his piece in The Social Media Reader: REMIX How Creativity Is Being Strangled by the Law.

We can also relate this section to his work on the Creative Commons, as that work is presented with no clear connection to his views

--False-mirror (talk) 17:44, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. I was doing some research and found the following which I have drafted in to a paragraph:

[Text Moved Below]

The above has a nexus to the excerpt in The Social Media Reader of REMIX (p. 166) What do you think of the above and how we can relate this section to the Creative Commons (if at all?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Producer06 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That citation is used a lot in the Remix_culture articles so it seems suitable, I'm just wondering how to best incorporate it in a way which maintains focus on Lessig. Perhaps around three sentences total. We can mention the purported importance of remix culture (maybe his legal work protecting it), and that others have extended his ideas into a historical context. I'll work on that first part and maybe you can edit down your text to ~1-2 sentences?(I moved your except to below so we can continually edit and comment above it).--False-mirror (talk) 20:55, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know, as I didn't realize the citation I found was so widely used, and also good that it's suitable. Good point on maintaining focus on Lessig through the citation. Yes, I will down my text to 1-2 sentences, and will probably select this: "Lessig articulates that Remix Culture has technology and the Internet in its DNA, an important distinction to merely being based in practice. Remix Culture is therefore an amalgam of practice, creativity, "read/write" culture, and the hybrid economy."

What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Producer06 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contribution

(0)Lessig has been a proponent of the Remix culture since the early 2000s,[25] in his 2008 book Remix[26][27] he presents this as a desirable concept for society.

(1) According to Lessig, the problem with this is when it is at odds with an overly stringent US copyright law. He has compared this to the failure of Prohibition, both in its ineffectiveness and in its tendency to normalize criminal behaviour. Instead he purposes more lenient licensing, namely Creative Commons licenses, will help maintain a "rule of law" while combating plagiarism [1]

(2)Lessig articulates that Remix Culture has technology and the Internet in its DNA, an important distinction to merely being based in practice. Remix Culture is therefore an amalgam of practice, creativity, "read/write" culture, and the hybrid economy.
