Response to the Larry Lessif on Laws that Choke Creativity video

In this video, lawyer Larry Lessif gives a speech on what he thinks about today's copywrite laws and how it applies to everyday people.  It is interesting how Lessif uses three stories within history and brings them together with one dealing with the present.  Lessif uses these stories to explain how the law now forbids anyone of using copywrighted material because it is considered stolen, especially today when we are living in such a technologically-based world.  I think that what Lessif says about how this new "ametur culture" is art, because although these videos and images are not theirs, they are taking them and remixing them to make them something new that has never been seen before.  It is important to know that Lessif does point out that producers have had the technology to do these things for the last fifty years, but today anyone with a computer can do this, and it's the young culture that has done it.  Lessif is right in saying that it is an outsource for how "young society" can reach out through an art form.  In my opinion, things should not be taken and used for your own work unless you change it and make it your own, or change it and make it better.
