If The Only Way A Library Can

I Think If The Copyright Regime Focuses On The People We Are Supposed To Be Helping, The Artists And Creators, And Builds A System That Gives Them The Freedom To Choose And To Protect And To Be Rewarded For Their Creativity, Then We Will Have The Right Focus.

Law And Technology Produce, Together, A Kind Of Regulation Of Creativity We've Not Seen Before.

There Are Very Few People In Our Society Who Are Actually Free To Say What They Believe. I Am In An Extremely Fortunate Position In Having This Enormous Gift Of Freedom And Believe I Should Try To Use It To Do Something Useful For Society. As Long As I Feel As If I Have Something To Say, I’ll Continue To Try To Do That.

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.

If The Only Way A Library Can Offer An Internet Exhibit About The New Deal Is To Hire A Lawyer To Clear The Rights To Every Image And Sound, Then The Copyright System Is Burdening Creativity In A Way That Has Never Been Seen Before Because There Are No Formalities.
