The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind by James BoyleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Absolutely outstanding. Perhaps my favorite of recently read books in this genre, but that's probably as much due to the fact that I'm very clear on the arguments now (and in agreement), so I could just enjoy the content. (all of them are fantastic) Professor Boyle's examples and reasoning are brilliant and powerful, however. He clearly states his concerns with recent (20th century) attempts to enclose and limit the rights of fair use and the public domain, and he also provides potential solutions and cogent arguments against. A literal joy to read.
