| Summary |
"In Freedom of Expression, Kembrew McLeod gathers topics as diverse as hip-hop music and digital sampling, the patenting of seeds and human genes, folk and blues music, visual collage art, electronic voting, the Internet and computer software. In doing so, he connects this rapidly accelerating push to pin down everything as a piece of private property to its effects on music, art, and science." "Freedom of Expression uses intellectual property law as the focal point to show how economic concerns are seriously eroding creativity and free speech."--BOOK JACKET |
