James Boyle
James Boyle explores matters as diverse as blackmail; ownership of genetic information; insider trading; Johnny Carson, Bela Lugosi and the Gay Olympics; the doctor as artist and the patient as "public domain"; cyberspace as land; censorship; and robot slavery in this first social theory of the information age. What emerges from this discussion is a compelling argument for expanding the concept of authorship and the fair use of information.
