Framing Questions Week 7.

In Lessig’s book, he discusses the stipulations of copyright law.  He states that as long as the content you use it for is parody, then it is not considered to be copyright.  Because parody is generally used to mock or make fun of an original work, how do the courts differentiate from defamation?

Lessig also discusses the difference in laws between amateurs and professionals, but it seems the difference between the two is pretty shady.  How do we differentiate between the two to make that laws are being applied to the right group?

How are we, as students part of a digital age, supposed to adapt to these new copyright laws while at the same time making sure that our creative freedom is still at it’s highest possible level?
