Free e-book: The Public Domain

Posted on 17 December, 2008 by bookGeek


Jame’s Boyle’s new book The Public Domain is available as a free download as a drm free pdf. Clicking on the picture of the cover there will take you to the download page.

If you absolutely have to read a review of the book first, read this one by Doctorow.
