About this Quote

This quote by Lawrence Lessig speaks to the significance of protecting digital data. He is highlighting the reality that while creative works from the 16th century can still be accessed and utilized by others, the data in some software application from the 1990s is already inaccessible. This is due to the truth that innovation is constantly evolving and changing, and information that was as soon as accessible can quickly become outdated. This is why it is so essential to guarantee that digital information is properly protected and archived. By doing so, we can guarantee that important information is not lost and can be accessed by future generations.
