Lessig, Lawrence

Argues that the spread of Internet use has caused alarm in the world of big media and prompted corporations to press for extended copyright legislation that the author fears is going to cripple culture and creativity.
Examines debates over cultural ownership, discussing the battle over the rights to intellectual property, and tracing the history of the idea of "the commons" as a possible solution to the problem.
