Where law meets creative expression
  Posted: November 8, 2007

It's a bit of a thicket to untangle the impact of law on the expressive life of a nation. Law is dry and detached. Expression is explosive and personal. And yet the laws that govern ownership and property do define the context and quality of expression. That makes them the direct business of arts and cultural managers.

Larry Lessig has long been helping define the power and the peril of copyright laws in the emerging on-line expressive world. And he does so clearly and compellingly in this TED talk, recently posted online.

Worth a look and a listen.
