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.
