at least there are some politicans that believe in free internet.  maybe we need to remind congress of how the has  internet got started and how it florished with open access..

After watching the video,  Professor Lessig, kept saying “what have you’ve done about it.”  I went to cc.org website , eff  website, wrote to my congressman and senators over copywrite laws.  I went to Professor Lessig’s  blog site, to find the different projects he is involved with.  Having a site for the authors to authorize use of their material and what they would like to keep confidential is an intelligent way to handle copywrite laws problem. He has traveled extensively to prompt his software.  the creative commons web site their goal is to produce a more effective high tech economy through the internet. They strongly believe in copyright and the purposes of it including making available for others to use and modify within the scope of how the creator allows it to be changed and used. They believe it is important to protect the rights of the creators however still help others in using copyrighted material. The creative commons web site is used for the authors of works to post their work and share it with others. The site also gives people a easier way to license their work and protect it under copyright law.   put the ownership in the creators hands not big companies
