-<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> —

-property.</quote></quote> — <emphasis>Brewster Kahle, founder of the

+ <title>About this edition</title>
<para>
This edition of <citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle> is the result of
three years of volunteer work. The idea came from a discussion I had
Odd Kleiva assisted with the initial translation. Ralph Amissah and
his SiSu version provided index entries. Morten Sickel and Alexander
Alemayhu helped with the figures, redrawing some of the bitmaps as
-vector images. Wivi Reinholdtsen and Ingrid Yrvin did very valuable
-proofreading. Håkon Wium Lie helped me track down a good replacement
-font without usage restrictions instead of the one in the original PDF.
-The PDF typesetting is done using dblatex, which we selected over the
-alternatives thanks to the invaluable and quick help from Benoît
-Guillon and Andreas Hoenen. Thomas Gramstad donated ISBN numbers
-needed for distribution to book stores. The support of Lawrence
-Lessig helped me to complete the project – I am very thankful he
-had the original screen shots still available after 11 years.
