-<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> —

-<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> — <emphasis>Brewster Kahle, founder of the

<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
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.
