-<quote>America needs a national conversation about the way in which
-so-called <quote>intellectual property rights</quote> have come to
-dominate the rights of scholars, researchers, and everyday citizens. A
-copyright cartel, bidding for absolute control over digital worlds,
-music, and movies, now has a veto over technological innovation and
-has halted most contributions to the public domain from which so many
-have benefited. The patent system has spun out of control, giving
-enormous power to entrenched interests, and even trademarks are being
-misused. Lawrence Lessig's latest book is essential reading for anyone
-who want to join this conversation. He explains how technology and the
-law are robbing us of the public domain; but for all his educated
-pessimism, Professor Lessig offers some solutions, too, because he
-recognizes that technology can be the catalyst for freedom. If you
-care about the future of innovation, read this book.</quote> &mdash;

-<quote><citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle> goes beyond illuminating
-the catastrophe to our culture of increasing regulation to show
-examples of how we can make a different future. These new-style heroes
-and examples are rooted in the traditions of the founding fathers in
-ways that seem obvious after reading this book. Recommended reading to
-those trying to unravel the shrill hype around <quote>intellectual
-property.</quote></quote> &mdash; <emphasis>Brewster Kahle, founder of the
