Just in time for holiday gift-giving, Bill Patry’s great new book, “How to Fix Copyright” is now available for purchase. This book is a follow-up of sorts to his prior work, “Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars.”

Bill knows more about the history and workings of copyright law than any other living person. His writing is highly engaging and his ideas are always thought-provoking.
Highly recommended!!!!
