Lawrence Lessig, the reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet age, spotlights the newest & possibly the most harmful culture war-a war waged against our children & others who create & consume art. Copyright laws have ceased to perform their original, beneficial role: protecting artists' creations while allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our system now criminalises those very actions. By embracing "read-write culture, which allows its users to create art as readily as they consume it, we can ensure that creators get the support-artistic, commercial, & ethical-that they deserve & need.

The hybrid economy will become ever more prominent in every creative realm-from news to music-and Lessig shows how we can & should use it to benefit those who make & consume culture. Remix is an urgent, eloquent plea to end a war that harms our children & other intrepid creative users of new technologies. It also offers an inspiring vision of the post-war world where enormous opportunities await those who view art as a resource to be shared openly rather than a commodity to be hoarded. ...
