Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity Paperback - 2005
by Lawrence Lessig
From the author of "The Future of Ideas" comes "an entertaining and important look at the past and future of the cold war between the media industry and new technologies" (Marc Andreessen, cofounder of Netscape).
Summary
Lawrence Lessig, “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era” (The New Yorker), masterfully argues that never before in human history has the power to control creative progress been so concentrated in the hands of the powerful few, the so-called Big Media. Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can’t do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech; why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine.
