A Book Review of Lawrence Lessig’s Latest
Edward Lee, Ohio State University College of Law, has published “Remixing Lessig,” at 6 I/S 41 (2010). Here is the abstract.
This book review analyzes – and remixes – Lawrence Lessig’s last copyright-related book, “Remix.” It takes the central ideas, including some quotations, from Remix, and transforms them with some new examples and commentary of my own. Part I summarizes and critiques Lessig’s discussion of (1) the remix and read-write (RW) culture, and (2) its relationship to the sharing, commercial, and hybrid economies. Part II discusses some of Lessig’s reform proposals for our copyright system to foster a remix culture.
