This was a pretty though provoking video. I agree with Lessig about how the two sides (strict copyright laws vs. none) need to realize that they have to come to some type of compromise. Once designers, artists, or inventors come up with something to market, no one should be able to steal their idea and make a profit. But when someone is re-appropriating that same material for entertainment value alone and gives credit to the originator, it seems kind of silly to pursue copyright issues. I guess I think that some companies/people/etc. need to look into relaxing their right of use laws. But I also think that the general public needs to be a bit more educated on the reasons behind copyright laws and when they should apply and should respect certain limitations.
