Youth Response to Copyright Laws

November 17th, 2007

I thought this presentation was outstanding. Larry Lessig, Stanford Law professor and founder of Creative Commons describes clearly how youth respond to restrictive and controlling forces on the Internet. His presentation is another great example of simple images and text coupled with terrific stories that emphasize his points. I pulled it off of Presentation Zen, my all time favourite site for learning how not to be a complete mess when delivering presentations. Here is the intro from Presentation Zen.

Lessig: “A growing copyright abolitionism…a generation that rejects the very notion of what copyright is suppose to do. Rejects copyright and believes that the law is nothing more than an ass to be ignored.”

Larry’s performance proves that it can be done. You too can make compelling, smart, and logical presentations enhanced by slideware (he’s using Keynote). There are no excuses. Watch, learn, and share this video. Excellent stuff. Bravo, Professor Lessig.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
