Every Lightbulb Moment starts with an individual human being, going through its creative process. But that does not mean it is an individual process. As Newton said, he stood on the shoulders of giants. Is our current system and philosophy on intellectual property imposing unnecessary restrictions and holding back our collective creativity? With decades of research into the politics of the arts, Joost takes the stand that we should abolish copyright. Joost will speak about the current status of intellectual property and suggest a potential other way of supporting and rewarding creativity and invention as a society.
