Author Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford law professor and keen observer of emerging technologies, makes a strong case that large corporations are staging an innovation-stifling power grab while we watch idly. The changes in copyright and other forms of intellectual property protection demanded by the media and software industries have the potential to choke off publicly held material, which Lessig sees as a kind of intellectual commons. He eloquently and persuasively decries this lopsided control of ideas and suggests practical solutions that consider the rights of both creators and consumers, while acknowledging the serious impact of new technologies on old ways of doing business. His proposals would let existing companies make money without using the tremendous advantages of incumbency to eliminate new killer apps before they can threaten the status quo. Readers who want a fair intellectual marketplace would do well to absorb the lessons in <I>The Future of Ideas</I>. <I>--Rob Lightner</I> 69718 2001 The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World total:180|5:57|4:73|3:43|2:7|1:0| 180 720 416 26 4 0 false false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 19:10:21 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 08:48:17 -0700 2009
