Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can’t do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech; why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750.mobi A Choice of Miracles James A.
