Lawrence Lessig was interviewed this past weekend on Chicago radio
program Sound Opinions, "the world's only rock'n'roll talk show".
Topics discussed include the problems with copyright laws, sampling,
Napster, remixes, remakes, etc. The hosts of the program put together an
interesting samples of various versions of one specific song, "In The
Pines" (aka "To The Pines" or "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"), to
make the point that this kind of song remake or reinterpretation is no
longer allowed by current copyright law.
The show can be streamed (RealAudio) or downloaded (mp3) from the Sound
Opinions Website. There are also footnotes to the interview on the same
page.
