William Patry: "How to Fix Copyright" is coming in 2011

William Patry has written a book "about how we talk about copyright and the influence that plays in our thinking": Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars

His new blog has the same name: http://moralpanicsandthecopyrightwars.blogspot.com/

He wrote in a review post in Amazon that he is going to write a second book that is "entirely prescriptive, called "How to Fix Copyright"".

I am looking very much forward to that book. I think those two books will be the ultimate in copyright literature upp till now.


"Had I wrote a prescriptive book, that's all people would have focused on, I feared. But, since in the book I frequently advocate giving consumers what they want rather than what businesses want to give to them, I am heeding my own advice. I am writing a sequel, which is entirely prescriptive, called "How to Fix Copyright." It will be published by Oxford University Press too and will come out I imagine at the beginning of 2011. so please read and judge Moral Panics for what it set out to do."
