First of all, the Jesus I Will Survive Video is my new favorite music video! hahaha.
But really, I thought that he had a really good point because I remember as a kid grabbing stuff off of the internet and creating things, anything, everything...photos to make a collage, music to make a slideshow. When you're young you don't know about copyright laws and then you're in school, especially in the art and design field and they slap it all on you at once and you freak out...wondering if you had broken the law by doing all of that stuff. I like his idea of opening non comercial use of work up, I just think that if no profit is being made off of your work, then it shouldn't really matter if it's being used, either way, when people "steal" your work it should be a compliment...so if a kid thinks the photo you took is awesome, then they should be able to use it to make a collage and not have to worry about breaking the law. I completely agree with the copy right laws of someone taking your work and making money from it, that is completely wrong, but there should be more freedom for those who just enjoy creating for fun.
