This followed the keynote panel, and the room was packed. There were several questions from Brazilian reporters in Portuguese - good to see some local media represented. Here's one of Q and As, too much going on around me to get it all down right now:
What are the biggest obstacles to CC taking-off in developing questions?
Gil - This is a cultural question. In developed countries culture is something that's been spread, news, info is available to the whole of society or considerable parts of it. In developing countries, we have so many other problems, difficulties in spreading information is one of them anyway.
Lessig - I agree. In developed countries like my own we have the technology but we need to fight the mentality of proprietary control. In developing countries there's a strong attitute towards sharing, but not the technology. We're working with MIT on its cheap laptop plan in this area. Technology is a simple problem, if expensive. In my country the harder task is changing the mentality.
