Well most ordinary people would pretty much say that Steven Colbert outright stole Lawrence Lessig’s book. Because of Fair Use it makes this situation a little different. In my opinion what Steven did wasn’t right, but it doesn’t mean that every person who tries to add value to someone else’s work and “remix” it will do the exact thing(s) that Steven did. I don’t think Steven really didn’t add value much to the book anyway — Steven added value to the book’s price, making it a collectors item if he should sell it, he did not add to the book intellectually — which would not be in Fair Use.
