[Air-l] textbook recommendation please: Intellectual property in digital age

[jeremy hunsinger]

I used lessig's The Future of Ideas this summer, it is very accessible, 
and provides a good perspective.  It was only a 1 week unit.  I think 
the topic needs more coverage.  I may teach an extended course next 
summer adding Copyrights/Copywrongs , which gives a satisfactory history 
and then gives a good account of the current day/possible future, plus 
maybe The Cultural LIfe of Intellectual Property By Coombs which is also 
very good, it has a nice critical legal studies slant in some of the 
chapters, and covers many of the issues in a style which is interesting 
to me.  Finally, as it will probably my political economy course, I'll 
most likely use *Copyrighting Culture: The Political Economy of 
Intellectual Property* by bettig and shiller
