In this paper, Professor Lessig describes the originalist roots to his conception of "dependence corruption," and shows why that conception is neither a version of "equality" nor inconsistent with modern First Amendment jurisprudence.

Perhaps a cheater is a cheater, and the point of this article is simply too off-the-wall to fathom, but might it be that young people are not cheating when they-mash‖ together other people's work to form their own? For older generations, cheating is pretty easy to understand, if you use something someone else has written in your paperyou are plagiarizing; and, plagiarizing is cheating. But young people have a different relationship with media than those of us who are older have even considered. They are especially-aggressive‖ with media from the Internet, and their use of this Internet media shapes their ideas about what is right and wrong. According to Lawrence Lessig's (2008) book Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy, young people are creative in different ways and understand copyright differently than other generations. Lessig, a professor of law at Stanford Law School and the founder of the Center for Internet and Society, believes copyright was designed for a radically different technological age, but in today's digital world copyright inhibits the creation of art, culture, and individual expression. As a parent, he saw how-copyright wars‖ affected his children and he came to believe that-criminalizing an entire generation‖ seemed a high a price to pay a copyright system created a generation ago (p. xviii).

No student, however, contributed as much to the final version of Code v2 as Christina Gagnier. In the final months of this project, she took command of the research, completing a gaggle of unresolved questions, putting the results of this 18-month process in a form that could be published, and supervising a check of all citations to verify their completeness and accuracy. Without her work, this book would not have been completed. I am also grateful to friends and colleagues who have helped me see how this work needed to change-especially

With each "right," he immediately moves to consider who, between the owner of physical assets and users of the network, should have the right he has identified. But should the resources that he has identified be subject to a property regime at all?
