We caught a great interview with the US Government’s CTO, Aneesh Chopra talking about his thoughts on copyright on CNET.
When questioned about the future of copyright reform (wait for the video to load and scroll to the 7:30 mark) Chopra mentions how he “embraced the Creative Commons licensing regime” when he worked with the Commonwealth of Virginia to publish their Flexbook platform. Chopra then states that he thinks that it was this experience that really informs his perspective on how intellectual property should be remixed, shared, and reused.
Needless to say, we totally agree.
