Cheers to Michael Geist. How refreshing to see legal types pressing for Creative Commons licences. I wonder if this is a first step toward other lawyers joining librarians and scientists in the Creative Commons/shared ownership/open source world. :)

And check out Larry Lessig's blog which is fulsome in his praise of the concept http://www.lessig.org/blog/

It looks like the medium really is the message. Thank you for pointing this out, Simon! Exciting times indeed. Any initial trepidation by Irwin Law in publishing this under a Creative Commons license has surely been outweighed by the widespread attention it has brought them. On their book description page, note the related links to newspaper reviews and prominent blog postings. A great idea to include all of this media attention and alternative views. I like it!
