-<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> —

three years of volunteer work. The idea came from a discussion I had

-Several people joined, and Anders Hagen Jarmund, Kirill Miazine and
-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 original PDF.
-pThe 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.
