Professor Lawrence Lessig's new book, "Free Culture," has been something I've been waiting to read for some time now. Professor Lessig is an intellectual property pioneer -- he walks the walk and talks the talk. Although I'll probably buy "Free Culture" before the summer, the book is being offered on the Web for free in many different forms. For example, one Blawg has recruited its audience and Lessig fans to read and record chapters of the book, and the readings will be offered for free in MP3 format. Another site offers the book in .pdf format. The book's license is worth examining and, of course, the content -- what little I've read so far -- is top notch. You can even participate in a virtual book club on this site.
