Lawrence Lessig and Modern Copyright
1. The document discusses the history of copyright law from 1774 to the present, noting how copyright duration and scope have continually expanded over time at the expense of a free culture. 2. New technologies like the printing press and internet enabled unprecedented levels of sharing and building upon existing works, but these were increasingly regulated by copyright law and technological measures to control use and sharing. 3. The essay argues that current copyright and technology trends have moved society away from free and open sharing of creativity and innovation, and advocates for reclaiming an open approach that limits control of past works like in earlier eras.
