Between bonds and laissez-faire: copyright in the digital age

Last update: Reading time: 0 minute Tags: Copy.Right.Now, Creative Commons, e-book, Heinrich Böll Foundation, iRights.info, copyright

iRights.info and the Heinrich Böll Foundation have published a new e-book on digital copyright..

Recently, an interesting e-book popped up in my feed reader that I think you should check out: “(link: http://irights.info/?q=content/copy-right-now-plaedoyers-fuer-ein-zukunftstaugliches-urheberrecht text:Copy.Right.Now”, a plea for a future-proof copyright, created as a collaboration between iRights.info and the Heinrich Böll Foundation and published under CC BY NC ND.

The work contains a large number of interesting texts by well-known authors such as Lawrence Lessig, Jonathan Lethem and Tim Renner. Thematically, the spectrum ranges from the debate about ACTA and the ancillary copyright to Creative Commons and copyright as material for art. There should be enough reading material for now – a printed version can be ordered free of charge from the Heinrich Böll Foundation from April 15.
