One of the many revelations I had at VizThink was the frightening accuracy of Larry Lessig’s TED speech on copywrite law. How can this combination of Japanese manga with the classic rock tune, “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Rock legend Bon Jovi, be characterized as anything other than great art!?

Why would we have laws in place that would put restrictions on such things? As Larry points out, his generation watched movies, the younger generation makes movies. By not changing with the times, we’re telling our children that their desire to create is actually piracy, and illegal.

I mean seriously, are the music and film industries so arrogant as to believe they can define and subsequently restrict the creative process? I fail to see how this does anything other than promote both the Trigun series and the music of Bon Jovi?

I have never seen the Trigun series but really enjoyed the video because of the music. In my mind it’s a win / win.
