The ideas interview: Lawrence Lessig

The man behind Creative Commons tells John Sutherland why the copyright
system has to change
Monday January 16, 2006

When it comes to intellectual property, the internet is the wild west.
This article, like others in the paper, will be blogged and circulated
across the web tomorrow. Neither I, nor the Guardian, nor all the
rules, regulations and penalties of copyright law, can stop that
happening.
It is against this anarchic backdrop that Lawrence Lessig, professor of
law at Stanford, proposed his Creative Commons initiative - copyright
for the "age of the electronic frontier". Creative Commons may not
prevent theft, but it does allow owners to define the terms on which
their content can be used. It also makes it harder for offenders to
claim that they ignore the rules because they don't understand them.
