-<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>

This edition of <citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle> is the result of
three years of volunteer work. The idea came from a discussion I had
transform it to PDF and EPUB. This was the start of the translation
project. The Docbook file improved over time, and build rules were
added to create both English and Bokmål versions. Finally, a call for
-volunteers went out to get help me with the translation.
