Lessig: Copyright isn’t just hurting creativity: it’s killing science
I saw a video once where this lab worker* said many possible medical treatments aren’t even pursued through research because of obvious patent conflicts. What a dumb system.
*Ok, it was Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk. He was talking about his former day job as a scientist.
Fifty minutes long, but a great explanation of where copyright is now in the arts and sciences, and where it needs to go in this digital age.
