Stephen Colbert Demands Remixers Avoid His Lessig Interview
It didn't even occur to me to ask readers to remix my review of copyright reform champion Lawrence Lessig's book Remix, but Stephen Colbert is totally smarter than me. The Comedy Central host has issued a challenge to would-be copyright infringers, demanding that they do not remix his interview with Lessig or throw in any excerpts from his audiobook, "particularly Chapter 7, entitled 'Homosexuals.'" Well, of course some sampling enthusiasts out there took the bait, and then Colbert himself put together a ridiculous rave-up of a video, "as a warning to others." Fluorescent face paint: always good for a laugh.
