Lawrence Lessig, an influential scholar who advocates greater consumer rights to use copyright works, is making his latest book available free on the Internet. The book, Free Culture, explores technical and legal restrictions that publishers and other large media corporations use to control information and keep it from the public domain. Lessig says the process limits creativity. Lessig, a law professor at Stanford University, argues that making information more widely available can make business sense. His publisher, The Penguin Press, agreed to make the book available online to demonstrate the point. [USA Today - Associated Press]
