The reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet
age, Lawrence Lessig spotlights the newest and possibly the most
harmful culture war?a war waged against those who create and
consume art. America's copyright laws have ceased to perform their
original, beneficial role: protecting artists? creations while
allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our
system now criminalizes those very actions. Remix is an urgent,
eloquent plea to end a war that harms every intrepid, creative user
of new technologies. It also offers an inspiring vision of the
postwar world where enormous opportunities await those who view art
as a resource to be shared openly rather than a commodity to be
hoarded.
