"Music futurist", "Music thought leader", "Music business innovator". Whatever jargon you might want to use to describe Andrew you'll be using the word 'Music' and wanting to know what he has to say about the subject.

An unbelievable talk by Lawrence Lessig! Then righ t after I watched this talk I read this article
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071108-pirate-act-dons-eye-patch-swashbuckles-back-into-senate.html
It just makes you wonder what “some people” are thinking! Lessig’s argument makes clear that the quote at the end of the article
“Copyright infringement silently drains America’s economy and undermines the talent, creativity and initiative that are a great source of strength to our nation,” said Leahy. “When we protect intellectual property from copyright infringement, we protect our economy and our ideas.”
is at best misguided, and most likely completely false. Actually, the exact opposite is closer to the truth.

Instead of just glibly using prepackaged technology to mash together other artists’ well thought out creations, maybe kids should instead be encouraged to learn to play musical instruments (which unfortunately requires hours over years of practice) and perhaps they should learn to write their own songs. In any case, if this whole argument is just in the service of justifying low-rent internet comedy, then who cares?
All in all I thought this was a weak analysis. Extrapolating Sousa’s comments to jump to a claim that now technology is empowering us to return to the glorious read/write days of yesteryear is sheer nonsense.
Furthermore, I’d maintain that most amateur work is in fact amateurish.
