Copyright law's grip on film, music and software is suffocating...yet it barely touches the fashion industry...and fashion benefits because of it, in both innovation and sales, says Johanna Blakley. At TEDxUSC 2010, she talks about what all creative industries can learn from fashion's "free" culture.
