In this book, American legal scholar Lawrence Lessig discusses contemporary intellectual property law and the effect of the Internet on it. Lessig argues that the current American climate surrounding intellectual property is misguided and needs correction. Lessig uses a number of entertaining and persuasive anecdotes to argue his position, and I think makes a very compelling case for radically rethinking our intellectual property framework. Lessig paints a broad picture of the state of intellectual property law in the United States, including the history of our legal system starting with British legal traditions.
