+"<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 around ten "
+"years ago with a friend about the copyright debate in Norway, and how rarely "
+"the difficulties of long copyright made it into the public debate. A bit "
+"more than three years ago 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. The new "
+"English edition is a by-product of the translation process."

+"Thanks to the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, I already had experience "
+"translating Docbook documents, and it seemed like a good format for this "
+"book too. I found a Docbook formatted version of the book created by Hans "
+"Schou. Initial testing showed lots of Docbook validation errors in this "
+"version, but after some work I was able to 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."
