  27
  28 <p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
  29 movement</a> gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
  30 book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
  31 Culture</a> to explain the problems with increasing copyright
  32 regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
  33 was very moved by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
  34 way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
  35 would read it too.</p>
  36
  37 <p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
  38 Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
  39 that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
  40 docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
  41 new edition of the English original.  I've been in touch with the
  42 author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
  43 published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
  44 this edition
  45 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available
  46 for sale on Lulu.com</a>, for those interested in a paper book.  This
  47 is the cover:

  50
  51 <p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
  52 few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
  53 months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
  54 join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
  55 person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
  56 need some proof reading.</p>
  57
  58 <p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
  59 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
  60 github project page</a>.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
  61 formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
  62 dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
  63 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
  64 and
  65 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
  66 but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
  67 ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
  68 have available.</p>
  69
  70 <p>After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
  71 to secure some sponsoring from
  72 <a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">the NUUG Foundation</a> to
  73 print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
  74 cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
  75 give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
  76 Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.</p>
