Praise for "Freedom of Expression(R)"
"A very funny treatment of an increasingly serious problem: the use
of intellectual property rights in ways that suppress instead of
foster creativity."
--William Fisher, Hale and Dorr Professor of Intellectual Property
Law, Harvard University
"Freedom of Expression is one of the "sharpest" weapons in the
culture wars being waged over the extensive protections now
accorded to intellectual property. A lively read, the book brims
with humor, juicy examples, and the voices of those whose
creativity is threatened and endangered. If you had any doubts
about the way intellectual property is shaping popular culture,
Kembrew McLeod will dispel them. The privatization of culture has
found its most trenchant critic."
--Rosemary Coombe, author of "The Cultural Life of Intellectual
Properties"
"People, this is it.... A must-read for anyone who wants to
actually change the way digital culture operates."
--Paul D. Miller aka. Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid
"The ability of creators to parlay their expressive efforts with
technology falls within a battleground that accountants, lawyers,
and lawmakers dictate with barbed boundaries. That's as impossible
as owning the air itself, which Kembrew McLeod states and
identifies clearly."
--Chuck D, Public Enemy
"Professor McLeod's book should be required reading for anyone
concerned with having free speech and free press as the trademarks
of Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street and the kingpins of Madison Avenue.
The stakes are somewhat high -- like the future of our
society."
--Robert W. McChesney, author of "The Problem of the Media"
"Kembrew McLeod has written a lively and funny bookabout life in
the age of Intellectual Property Madness. In the spirit of Woody
Guthrie himself, this book is your book."
--Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of "The Anarchist in the Library"
