Here’s a clip of VP Joe Biden giving his views on the intellectual property at a recent copyright summit. His view is surprisingly unnuanced. He speaks a great deal about the “stealing” and “theft” of intellectual property, without acknowledging that the content of many in attendance builds on works of the past. One wonders how such a hard line view can possibly accomodate for “Remix culture,” much less keep up with what has become a common practice of sharing on the Internet. The genie is already out of the bottle.
