Lawrence Lessig, the reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet age, spotlights the newest and possibly the most harmful culture war - a war waged against our kids and others who create and consume art. America's copyright laws have ceased to perform their original, beneficial role: protecting artists' creations while allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our system now criminalizes those very actions. Criminalizing our children and others is exactly what our society should not do, and Lessig shows how we can and must end this conflict - a war as ill conceived and unwinnable as the war on drugs. By embracing "read- write culture," which allows its users to create art as readily as they consume it, we can ensure that creators get the support - artistic, commercial, and ethical - that they deserve and need. Indeed, we can already see glimmers of a new "hybrid economy."
