"As we've seen, our constitutional system requires limits on copyright as a way to assure that copyright holders do not too heavily influence the development and distribution of our culture"
- Lawrence Lessig
About this Quote
This quote by Lawrence Lessig talks to the value of limiting copyright in order to guarantee that copyright owners do not have excessive control over the development as well as circulation of our culture. This is a vital principle in our constitutional system, as it guarantees that the general public has access to the social works that are created. Without restrictions on copyright, copyright owners would be able to manage the manufacturing and circulation of cultural jobs, which could cause a lack of diversity in the social jobs that are available to the public. By limiting copyright, we can guarantee that copyright holders do not have too much impact over the development and also distribution of our society, and that the public has access to a wide array of social works.
