Summary "While new technologies always lead to new laws. Lawrence Lessig shows that never before have the big cultural monopolists drummed up such unease about these advances, especially the Internet, to shrink the public domain while using the same advances to control what we can and can't do with the culture all around us. What's at stake is our freedom - freedom to create, freedom to build, and, ultimately, freedom to imagine."--BOOK JACKET
