Architecting Innovation (Lessig)

Duke University School of Law: Architecting Innovation.

In this lecture, Professor Lawrence Lessig (Stanford Law School, Author, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace) will discuss the effects of changes in the architecture of the Internet on creativity and innovation, and will suggest the adverse consequences that in turn seem likely unless the issues raised by these changes are satisfactorily addressed:

The architecture of the Internet as it was originally designed created an innovation commons, out of which the extraordinary creativity of the early net was born.

Now this architecture is being changed. The technical and legal context within which the net exists is becoming radically different.

In turn these changes threaten to undermine the opportunities for innovation inherent in the original net.
