Lessig's new book is out. I'm only about 30 pages into it, and its what you'd expect from Lessig. Mickey Mouse has already made his appearance, been weaved into the context of doujinshi, and I think there is about to be a Kodak moment. This has that "listening to myself rant" feel to it. This book appears to have the goal of describing what I keep calling "remix culture", and the intellectual property issues that effect it. I'll should have more to say about it when I'm done.. Update: Decided to give a copy of this book to a friend of mine who's birthday is today. I can't be expected to produce 360+ pages of rant anytime soon. The book will serve him well. :) Take note, I downloaded the book, and I wound up buying a copy for someone else.. Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig |
