Larry Lessing

Larry Lessing // was very interesting even though he came off anti-technology at first. I agree that copy rights dont need to be so severe because it hinders creativity. I like how he suggests that we should allow users to take certain things if they "remix" it. By allowing copyright laws to be more free i believe we are allowing for kids to have more of an output. Creativity and making stuff is how i relax and i feel that by having such strict copyright laws we are not allowing people to express themselves. 
I enjoyed the Lessing quote: 

"Does culture belong to the participants, or the creators?"
