Type 2 Journal Entry

I found Larry Lessig's: How Creativity is being strangled by the law interesting. I understand where he is coming from and agree with him somewhat that people should be allowed to take pieces of information and integrate them into one piece. I liked his perspective saying artists should give rights to their ideas but not the actual work. I think by using other peoples ideas often helps other artists generate ideas and create some great pieces. If I was a professional music artist or something similar I may feel differently after working on something so hard and then feel like someone stole my idea, but at this point I agree with what Larry Lessig is saying.
