It's All Over the Blogosphere

How cool is this? Lawrence Lessig, prominent in intellectual freedom law and author of such books as Free culture : how big media uses technology and the law to lock down culture and control creativity and The future of ideas : the fate of the commons in a connected world has posted the full text of his 1999 book, Code : and other laws of cyberspace online and has set up a wiki to invite any interested parties to collaborate with him in writing an updated version of the book.
      We first saw this posted at the Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc. blog, but it's turning up in lots of places. The library does have Gillmor's new book, We the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the people --and it also appears to be online, at the O'Reilly site.
