I'm starting to enjoy the readings for my others classes a bit more than when the semester first began. The other day I finished Freedom of Expression©: Resistance and Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property by Kembrew McLeod. McLeod actually licensed the term Freedom of Expression© to show how copyright laws have taken a turn for the worse when it comes to the free flow of information and free speech. The book gives several cultural examples of how copyright "bozos" are taking unfair credit for authorship, preventing new scientific discoveries, and stifling new authorship.
For anyone interested in copyright and fair use, I recommend taking Dr. Currier's class, if time and class schedule permit.
