Book on intellectual property released under CC licence

Dec 2, 2008 13:28

Remember when I hoped that Chris Anderson would give his next book away for free as a means of proving his point? James Boyle has just authored a book on intellectual property and the public domain, the online version of which has been released under a Creative Commons licence.

(Via Slashdot) James Boyle is a professor of Law at Duke Law School, and his new book, The Public Domain, discusses a topic I've always found confusing. The good news is you don't have to buy the book; you can download it for free or read it online. The online version is an interesting beast because it allows you to comment on individual paragraphs as well as on the entire chapter.

The online version has been released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported Licence.

About Lim Sheng Ming

Tired of relatives misspelling his name, Lim Sheng Ming christened himself "LSM". Born in Brunei, he is currently based in intoxicating Japan where he is supposed to be doing research. A published writer, an accomplished Latin dancer, a Tai Chi practitioner and a committed Lifehacker, he still finds time to follow standards-based Web development and promote Internet accessibility. He is also one of the few who have switched from a Mac (but don't judge him for that).
