This book was fantastic. Cory Doctorow, with his usual wit and humor, explains how we arrived with the current copyrights laws, how they do and do not help project creators, and how the entertainment industry is trying to exploit them. This is not just an issue for content creators and distributors: this is an issue for everyone who uses the internet, period. Because the way that copyright is or is not enforced, where and how much, effects our rights of privacy, free speech, fair use and honest control of our own devices. This book is massively important, and better yet, it is highly readable. By turns dramatic, terrifying, funny and uplifting, I would recommend it to everyone.
