Larry Lessig's new book comes out on Thursday. Booklist had this to say: Drawing on distinctions between piracy that benefits a single user and harms the owner and piracy that is useful in advancing new content or new ways of doing business, Lessig strongly argues for a balance between the interests of the owner and broader society so that we can continue a "free culture" that encourages innovation rather than a "permission culture" that does not. This is a highly accessible and enlightening look at the intersection of commerce, the law, and cyberspace. |
