TED Talks about how the entertainment industry is wrong about needing copyright protection
Below are three really great TED talks on the absurdity of the entertainment industry's claims about their supposed "need" for copyright protection, and their shaming of those who disagree with them. The first is short and highlights the ridiculousness of the numbers they use. The next shows how remixing is a staple of creativity in our culture and perhaps in human nature, and touches on how the entertainment industry's monopoly is stifling us. The last proves that innovation, sales and profits can flourish in creative endeavors without copyright protection. Check these out!
