The Public Domain by James Boyle
Describes what the author calls the range wars of the information age - heated battles over intellectual property. This title argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law.
"'Boyle is one of the world's major thinkers on the centrality of the public domain to the production of knowledge and cultureHe offers a comprehensive and biting critique of where our copyright and patent policy has gone, and prescriptions for how we can begin to rebalance our law and practice. It is the first book I would give to anyone who wants to understand the causes, consequences, and solutions in the debates over copyrights, patents, and the public domain of the past decade and a half.' Yochai Benkler, Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies, Harvard Law School."
James Boyle is William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC.
