Although Lynton...Great post and great reflection. <br /><br />Although Lynton is just crying for attention here, his argument, unfornately, represents a lot of people's views. I think your perspective is indeed correct, but it is one not understood by many. Education is key here. What that means is that you and others like you should be speaking at MBA colloquiums and consulting for companies like CEO. <br /><br />On the other hand...I think that Lynton is just doing the same as everyone else when they complain that someone else is stealing from their IP, and when we all at one time or another have made a fuss about guardrailing creativity. We all do it. We all have complained one time or another someone else has stolen from us. To some, the Internet is just one giant bully.<br /><br />Jenkins et al write about a new attitutdes toward authorship in the age of new digital media. An attitude that celebrates and promotes remix culture. However, we grew up with a different attitude than the one Jenkins et al write about. The question then is, how do we go about changing people's attitude? Sheer economic force won't cut it. Publishing books and articles on the topic doesn't cut it either. What does? <br /><br />Maybe as a mutual friend of ours used to say, paradigm change happens when all the old people at the head of these organizations die away and a new generation takes over. Maybe we just have to wait until one of us becomes the CEO of Sony, and Times Warners, and NBC and whatever, would we see broadcast media appreciating new media. But by then, we will probably be complaining about something else, and a new generation would be waiting for us to die away.Clement Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680997553003661156noreply@blogger.com
