Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig

"Nesse processo, "as coisas concretas com as quais você trabalha são abstratas. São códigos". As crianças estão "passando a ter a habilidade de manipular o abstrato, e essa manipulação não é mais uma atividade isolada que você faz na sua garagem. Você está participando de uma plataforma comunitária. (...) Você está brincando com o trabalho de outros. Quanto mais você fuça, mais você melhora-a". Quanto mais você a melhora, mais você aprende."

Forget the 18th century, the 19th century, even at the birth of the 20th century. Here's my favorite example, here: 1928, my hero, Walt Disney, created this extraordinary work, the birth of Mickey Mouse in the form of Steamboat Willie. But what you probably don't recognize about Steamboat Willie and his emergence into Mickey Mouse is that in 1928, Walt Disney, to use the language of the Disney Corporation today, "stole" Willie from Buster Keaton's "Steamboat Bill." It was a parody, a take-off; it was built upon Steamboat Bill. Steamboat Bill was produced in 1928 — no 14 years — just take it, rip, mix, and burn, as he did to produce the Disney empire.
