Reviews

Inspired at times by Justice Hugo Black, at times by Jerry Garcia, Lange and Powell deliver an irreverent polemic, arguing for a world in which a more robust understanding of the First Amendment and its commitment to genuinely free expression require a fundamental restructuring of our overly inflated systems of copyright and similar exclusive speech-licensing regimes. <br>--Yochai Benkler, author of The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom

No Law has everything that makes a book valuable. It is clearly written, makes an original argument based on exhaustive research and challenges conventional thinking. Moreover, it offers a possible solution to a pressing social question. -- International Journal of Communication
