 This edition of <citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle> is the result of
 three years of volunteer work.  The idea came from a discussion I had
 around ten years ago with a friend about the copyright debate in
-Norway, and how rarely the negative sides of stronger regulation of
-copyrighted works are mentioned in public.  The summer of 2012 I
-finally had a look again at the idea and decided to publish a printed
-Norwegian Bokmål version of <citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle>,
-translated and formatted by volunteers, as it describes the problem
-area very well.  This new English edition is a by-product of this
-translation project.
