Clay Shirky sheds light onto the huge issue of the public’s right to share and create on the internet, which is currently being threatened by the legislature before Congress in the US right now, known as Protect IP Act (or PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
Through this TED Talk Clay gives us the evolution of content law and the real issue before us, in that the new laws represent an inversion of the burden of truth; going from “innocent until proven guilty” to “guilty until proven innocent.”
Let us know what you think?
