"In 'Copy This Book!' Paul J. Heald draws on a vast knowledge of copyright scholarship and deep sense of irony to explain what's gone wrong with copyright in the twenty-first century.

Heald translates piles of data, complex laws, and mysterious economics, equipping readers with the tools for judging the wisdom of past and future copyright law"--
