Framing: Week 6
1. Lessig is explicit about the need to revamp the copyright system in this country in order to win the “copyright war”. What can we do in order to protect creators and protect users of copyrighted material?
2. How does the remix culture affect the way that we view copyright and fair use? Does using images/audio/text/video from other sources and combining them together in a new way create a case for fair use?
3. What are the ways in which the copyright war will change how future generations consume and use media? Will the punishments enforced on copyright offenders hinder creativity? Or will loosening the rules have an effect people’s desire to create in the first place?
