Thanks for the pointer, but does anyone know if there is an eBook reader version out there? ( I know, I could take the HTML and convert it, but I'd rather not re-invent sliced bread if someone else already did. )

As an alternative, I would recommend the following short monograph, "Against Intellectual Property", by Stephan Kinsella.

Stephan Kinsella is a practicing patent attorney and libertarian author. Kinsella provides an entirely fresh, non-standard framework to view intellectual property.

Nikio: Professor Lessig's books are available for pdf download -- all except the latest, which apparently will be made available later. See the links at the top where the books are advertised.

For the sake of completeness: that's how I was affected when I came across John Willinsky's work on OpenAccess (UBC) in '03; his "Increasing the Public Value of Social Science Research" coupled with Jurgen Habermas on "discourse ethics" was just what I needed for my synthesis.

Wonderful idea. I downloaded the book and I'm already reading it. ;) Thanks for the link.

PS: Dr. Lessig; it might not be too late to publish a pdf of your books. I would be really happy if this happens.
