Review of Lessig’s Free Culture

by Jeremy

Review of Lessig’s Free Culture:

David G. Post, Free Culture vs. Big Media: Lawrence Lessig leads the charge to retake the public domain, Reason Online, November 2004. A review of Lessig’s book, Free Culture. Excerpt: “[In the past eight years] the questions [raised by copyright in the digital age] have only become more difficult and more important, what with Napster, the recording industry’s campaign against file sharing, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, e-books, open-source software, open-access journals, TiVo, the Grey Album, and so on. Copyright law and copyright problems have gone mainstream; now everyone is thinking about copyright….In Free Culture, his third and best book, Lessig shows his hand. He has a cause, and he wants us to rally to it. The cause is the protection of that imaginary piece of real estate known as ‘the public domain’ and the ‘free culture’ that has always, Lessig argues, been built upon and interleaved with it — the culture of transformative art, of sharing and borrowing and reborrowing and retransforming, of collages, cover versions, dramatizations, fictionalizations, and adaptations — the whole universe of ways new art builds upon and emerges from old.”

Thanks, Andy

by Jeremy

Thanks, Andy:
Kudos to Andrew Tanenbaum, aka the Votemaster, for his service to all Americans during this campaign season. His site, electoral-vote.com has been a regular destination for me during the 2004 campaign. He’s always played fair as the latest polls have come out, and we have been better informed for it.

Here is the Votemaster’s latest set of polls, and his prediction about the final outcome.

From his mouth to God’s ears.

well… not god’s ears…… unless you mean small gods……… in any case, it is a useful tool.
