‘The Cranky Copyright Book’ (Joe Clark)
june 2009 by epersonae
"There really is a way to look at copyright that is not a form of apologia for dying “content” industries, like the music business and Hollywood studios. This new way also has very little to do with “free culture,” Creative Commons, and the teachings of gurus like Lessig and Michael Geist." I'm sort of curious to get Joe's take (enough to throw in $5, even).
