Quotes by Lawrence Lessig (?)

“Copyright law has got to give up its obsession with 'the copy.' The law should not regulate 'copies' or 'modern reproductions' on their own. It should instead regulate uses--like public distributions of copies of copyrighted work--that connect directly to the economic incentive copyright law was intended to foster.”
― Lawrence Lessig, Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy

“Why should it be that just when technology is
most encouraging of creativity, the law should be most restrictive?”
