“Una cultura libera non è priva di proprietà; non è una cultura in cui gli artisti non vengono ricompensati. Una cultura senza proprietà, in cui i creatori non ricevono un compenso, è anarchia, non libertà. E io non intendo promuovere l'anarchia.
Al contrario, la cultura libera che difendo […] è in equilibrio tra anarchia e controllo. La cultura libera, al pari del libero mercato, è colma di proprietà. Trabocca di norme sulla proprietà e di contratti che vengono applicati dallo stato. Ma proprio come il libero mercato si corrompe se la proprietà diventa feudale, anche una cultura libera può essere danneggiata dall'estremismo nei diritti di proprietà che la definiscono.”

“Fare la guerra a Internet significa fare la guerra ai nostri figli: non possiamo impedire ai nostri figli di essere creativi, ma se criminalizziamo la tecnologia, rendiamo i nostri figli pirati e clandestini.”

“Il testo rappresenta il latino di oggi. È attraverso il testo che comunicano le élite (come voi, che state leggendo questo libro). Per le masse, invece, la maggioranza delle informazioni viene raccolta attraverso altre forme mediatiche: TV, film, musica e video musicali. Tali forme di "scrittura" rappresentano le lingue volgari di oggi. Sono le forme di "scrittura" che rivestono maggior importanza per la maggior parte della gente… Non è stato Internet a rendere significative queste altre forme di scrittura (che io chiamerò semplicemente 'media'), Internet e le tecnologie digitali, però, hanno messo questi media a disposizione delle masse.”

Lawrence Lessig libro Remix

Origine: Remix, p. 44

“Sia che si limiti al testo o vada al di là di esso, il remix è un collage; scaturisce dall'abbinamento di elementi della cultura RO; riesce nel suo intento facendo leva sui significati associati al contenuto citato allo scopo di costruire qualcosa di nuovo.”

Lawrence Lessig libro Remix

Origine: Remix, p. 50

“Ovviamente penso che la lettura sia importante. Ovviamente è "fondamentale". Ma gli esseri umani vanno ben oltre ciò che è fondamentale. E mentre vedo crescere i mie figli, l'aspetto che apprezzo di più non è la loro lettura. È la loro scrittura. Da quando il più grande, che oggi ha cinque anni, ne aveva due gli abbiamo raccontato storie di "mostri". Assistere alla fervida attenzione con cui seguiva ogni colpo di scena che accadeva in queste storie totalmente improvvisate era splendido. Ma il momento in cui ha protestato per la prima volta per un determinato sviluppo della trama, spiegando quello che avrebbe preferito sentirsi raccontare, è stato uno dei più belli della mia vita. Ciò che vogliamo vedere nei nostri figli è la loro volontà. Ciò che vogliamo aiutarli a sviluppare è una volontà ben articolata.”

“Una cultura piena di blogger ha una visione diversa della politica o delle questioni pubbliche, se non altro perché un maggior numero di persone ha dovuto assimilare la disciplina che scaturisce dal tentativo di dimostrare, per iscritto, perché da A si arrivi a B.”

“In arguing for increasing content owners' control over content users, it's not sufficient to say "They didn't pay for this use."”

May the Source Be With You (2001)

“The current term of protection for software is the life of an author plus 70 years, or, if it's work-for-hire, a total of 95 years. This is a bastardization of the Constitution's requirement that copyright be for "limited times." By the time Apple's Macintosh operating system finally falls into the public domain, there will be no machine that could possibly run it. The term of copyright for software is effectively unlimited.”

May the Source Be With You (2001)

“We will not reclaim a free culture by individual action alone. It will also take important reforms of laws. We have a long way to go before the politicians will listen to these ideas and implement these reforms. But that also means that we have time to build awareness around the changes that we need.”

Free Culture (2004)

“There has never been a time in history when more of our "culture" was as "owned" as it is now. And yet there has never been a time when the concentration of power to control the uses of culture has been as unquestioningly accepted as it is now.”

“Remember the refrain: We always build on the past; the past always tries to stop us. Freedom is about stopping the past, but we have lost that ideal.”

“One thing we know about incentives is you can't incent a dead person. No matter what we do, Hawthorne will not produce any more works, [even if] we can give him all the money in the world.”

Debate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etMwBOexmJM&t=41m with Jack Valenti at Harvard University Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society (1 October 2000)

“Americans have been selling this view around the world: that progress comes from perfect protection of intellectual property. Notwithstanding the fact that the most innovative and progressive space we've seen — the Internet — has been the place where intellectual property has been least respected. You know, facts don't get in the way of this ideology.”

“Now the Disney Corporation could do this because that culture lived in a commons, an intellectual commons, a cultural commons, where people could freely take and build. It was a lawyer-free zone.
It was culture, which you didn't need the permission of someone else to take and build upon. That was the character of creativity at the birth of the last century. It was built upon a constitutional requirement that protection be for limited times, and it was originally limited. Fourteen years, if the author lived, then 28, then in 1831 it went to 42, then in 1909 it went to 56, and then magically, starting in 1962, look — no hands, the term expands.
Eleven times in the last 40 years it has been extended for existing works — not just for new works that are going to be created, but existing works. The most recent is the Sonny Bono copyright term extension act.”

“To read is not a fair use; it's an unregulated use. To give it to someone is not a fair use; it's unregulated. To sell it, to sleep on top of it, to do any of these things with this text is unregulated. Now, in the center of this unregulated use, there is a small bit of stuff regulated by the copyright law; for example, publishing the book — that's regulated. And then within this small range of things regulated by copyright law, there's this tiny band before the Internet of stuff we call fair use: Uses that otherwise would be regulated but that the law says you can engage in without the permission of anybody else.”

OSCON 2002
Contesto: Here's a simple copyright lesson: Law regulates copies. What's that mean? Well, before the Internet, think of this as a world of all possible uses of a copyrighted work. Most of them are unregulated. Talking about fair use, this is not fair use; this is unregulated use. To read is not a fair use; it's an unregulated use. To give it to someone is not a fair use; it's unregulated. To sell it, to sleep on top of it, to do any of these things with this text is unregulated. Now, in the center of this unregulated use, there is a small bit of stuff regulated by the copyright law; for example, publishing the book — that's regulated. And then within this small range of things regulated by copyright law, there's this tiny band before the Internet of stuff we call fair use: Uses that otherwise would be regulated but that the law says you can engage in without the permission of anybody else. For example, quoting a text in another text — that's a copy, but it's a still fair use. That means the world was divided into three camps, not two: Unregulated uses, regulated uses that were fair use, and the quintessential copyright world. Three categories.
Enter the Internet. Every act is a copy, which means all of these unregulated uses disappear. Presumptively, everything you do on your machine on the network is a regulated use. And now it forces us into this tiny little category of arguing about, "What about the fair uses? What about the fair uses?" I will say the word: To hell with the fair uses. What about the unregulated uses we had of culture before this massive expansion of control?
