so is creativity being threatened? what do you think? i think it depends. creativity is such a broad term. there are so many areas where creativity can be applied so it cannot be threatened in all areas. the world is constantly changing with new technologies and discoveries by the minute. there is always room for something new, something better. if it isn't new or better then it shouldn't apply as creative.

don't get me wrong, i still believe that creativity is being threatened in certain areas. this would include literature, music, and film. music, film, and writing are expressive and there can only be so many ways to express a thought or feeling before it is expressed again in a very similar manner.

i think lessig's solution makes sense and it should have been approved. objects entering the public domain does allow for less complication if a similar work is created. i believe that many people will still not understand what the public domain is. also this would create more work for the government, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. overall it's still the best idea so far.
