In Defense of Piracy

chromakey writes: The Wall Street Journal Online is running an essay from Lawrence Lessig about fair use of copyrighted material on the Internet. The author makes the case that companies such as Universal that go to extreme lengths to squash videos such as these are stifling creativity in the modern era. The author makes specific reference to a video where a 13 month old child is dancing to a nearly inaudible soundtrack of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy". Lawrence Lessig is a board member for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
