What I found interesting about Larry Lessig's speech on laws that choke creativity was this push/pull that is created because of the new technology that is available to us. On one hand it could "choke" our creativity, because it is so helpful that it may eliminate certain methods and ways of creative process that we lose originality or take the easy way out, creatively. On the other hand, this technology could allow for new doors to be opened up that allow us to take some of our wildest ideas and realize them through the sophisticated technology. Finally, he says that we cannot kill the instinct technology produces, only criminalize it.
