Great Artists Steal, But Not From Me
Posted by Alan Wexelblat
Since we're on the topic of remixes today, I wanted to direct your attention to
Kirby Ferguson's posting of his TED talk to YouTube (h/t Boingboing for the original pointer)
Ferguson, best known for his series "Everything is a Remix" and his work on copyright policy in the US, puts the basic idea in front of the TED audience. Unfortunately, although his examples are interesting, the talk is a bit disjointed as he jumps from the notion that creativity is external, not internal, to the ongoing smartphone patent wars, with a very fleeting touch on the notion that the current intellectual "property" regime is hampering creativity. I suppose that's the challenge of trying to cover something this complex in under 10 minutes.
