This just in... from Creative Commons chairman Lawrence Lessig. He released his new book, Free Culture [4] today, both online, a licensed downloadable version [5] and in stores [6]. The book covers the current state of copyright law and what it means to our culture and society. Give it a look, and if you like what you see, ordering online [7] will contribute a small percentage to Creative Commons [8].
UPDATE: "Free Culture" popup audiobook [9]
UPDATE2: Business 2.0 article, Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit) [10].
Electronic Frontier Foundation's page on free culture [11].
1. Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
2. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds on it.
3. Free societies enable the future by limiting the past.
4. Ours is less and less a free society. --Lawrence Lessig [12], 2002.

Ming the Mechanic says Lessig is "a proponent for more flexible ways of dealing with copyrights." We couldn't agree more. Check out the book, who knows you might like it, and it may even spur some creativity and innovation in your world.

Here's a link back to an old article of ours on Free and Open Source Education [13]. Enjoy.
