Kembrew McLeod on copyright criminals

My buddy Kembrew McLeod has just published his book Freedom of Expression: Overzealous Copyright Bozos and Other Enemies of Creativity. (You may remember Kembrew for his brilliant part in the Illegal Art Exhibit; he trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" and then threatened to sue AT&T for using it in an ad campaign.

The book is filled with all kinds of curious stories about the copyright cartel; we'll be reprinting a short excerpt in the upcoming issue of Stay Free! magazine. But you don't have to wait for that; you can download the ENTIRE BOOK FREE (courtesy of a Creative Commons license) at Kembrew's website.

Kembrew has also just finished a trailer for his documentary Copyright Criminals. The movie won't be out for a while, but check out the trailer for a surreal lineup of players: from Pete Rock to Matmos to Cibo Mato to Lawrence Lessig. (Yours truly also makes an appearance.)
