+here to buy the book&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In 2004, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons
+movement&lt;/a&gt; gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
+book &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)&quot;&gt;Free
+Culture&lt;/a&gt; to explain the problems with increasing copyright
+regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
+was moved very by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
+way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
+would read it too.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
+Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
+that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
+docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
+new edition of the English original.  I&#39;ve been in touch with the
+author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
+published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
+this edition
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html&quot;&gt;available
+for sale on Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;, for those interested in a paper book.  This
+is the cover:
+
+&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-23-free-culture-english-published-cover.png&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
+few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
+months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
+join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
+person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
+need some proof reading.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
+github project page&lt;/a&gt;.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
+formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
+dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842&quot;&gt;#795842&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871&quot;&gt;#796871&lt;/a&gt;),
+but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
+ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
+have available.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
+to secure some sponsoring from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuugfoundation.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt; to
+print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
+cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
+give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
+Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.&lt;/p&gt;
