Read-Only is a term taken from the computer lingo. It means that a piece of information can only be read and thats it. Read-Write is the opposite: a piece of information can be read a be use to write something else, taken pieces and remix it, edit it, etc. It has to do a lot with copy right laws that Lessig talks about so much. Lessig believes that copy right laws are obsolete and need to be updated for a digital age because with computers and access to digital information, we are now moving to a different digital culture. The current Copy right laws are designed for analog information than can only be read and not reproduced. Now we have tools to share music online, personal videos, blogs, vlogs and the list goes on... information is meant to be remixed with in the eyes of lessig.
