To be a writer in the 21st century can be difficult. Most of the great words have been said and the great ideas have already occurred. What Lessig alludes to is the idea of using the words of great writers and our own words to make a new and refreshing piece. Collaboration with other writers work helps shine light to new ideas. The quotes pulled from other authors are the backbone of the piece; the words support ideas with theories that have been echoed through time.
The new age of technology has allowed work to be shared around the world. The sharing of work brings people closer by giving them a chance to collaborate and feed off of each others ideas. Like with the kid that made the "Daily Prophet" so other children like himself can write their own online newspaper. The sharing of these kids ideas was only possible because the use of the internet brought them closer.
