Really interesting book! I kind of hate that I have so much reading to do and that I can't take as much time to absorb everything that Mr. Lessig has to say the way I would if I were reading for leisure vs trying to finish 4 books for a book review, but I'm enjoying this book the most out of any we have read so far. He has obvious opinions on each issue, but he presents them with evidence and with a continuous message to the reader that the reader should make up their own mind. I prefer that to Mr. Baker's emotional rants, Mr. Lesks overly objective prose and Mr. Vaidhyanathan's underhanded digs at various political groups and corporations (no matter how much I may agree w him!).
In particular, I am really intrigued by the discussion of "latent ambiguity." The idea that the Constitution may support 2 vary diverging viewpoints and that society today has a choice to make is a new concept to me.
Since I am reading for the purpose of writing a review, as I read I try to formulate my arguments. One clear theme between all of the works is legislature and the impact of legal decisions on digital content.
