"All creative works, books, movies, records, software, and so on, are a
compromise between what can be imagined and what is possible technologically and
legally. For more than two hundred years, laws in America have sought a balance
between rewarding creativity and allowing the borrowing from which new
creativity springs. The original term of copyright set by the Constitution in
1787 was seventeen years. Now it is closer to two hundred. Thomas Jefferson
considered protecting the public against overly long monopolies on creative
works an essential government role. What did he know that we've forgotten?

Lawrence Lessig shows us that while new technologies always lead to new laws,
never before have the big cultural monopolists used the fear created by new
technologies, specifically the Internet, to shrink the public domain of ideas,
even as the same corporations use the same technologies to control more and more
what we can and canýt do with culture. As more and more culture becomes
digitized, more and more becomes controllable, even as laws are being toughened
at the behest of the big media groups. What's at stake is our freedom, freedom
to create, freedom to build, and ultimately, freedom to imagine."
