It was a complex and intellectually stimulating read. It clearly describes the field of intellectual property today...The book should be required reading for anyone interested in the area of copyright law and would find a home in any course focused on constitutional law, intellectual property or public policy.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Law and Politics Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eNo Law\u003c\/i\u003e has everything that makes a book valuable. It is clearly written, makes an original argument based on exhaustive research and challenges conventional thinking. Moreover, it offers a possible solution to a pressing social question.\"—\u003ci\u003eInternational Journal of Communication\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I was provoked and engaged by this book! There is much to learn here about intellectual property and the First Amendment, both separately and together. \u003ci\u003eNo Law\u003c\/i\u003e is a very elegantly written, well-organized, and readable work of legal fantasy, and I mean this in a good sense.\"—Paul J. Heald, University of Georgia\u003cbr\u003e\"This will be one of the most important books about intellectual property published this decade. The scholarship is more than excellent, the research is careful and well-documented, and the writing is nimble and illuminating.\" —-Keith Aoki, University of California, Davis\u003cbr\u003e\"Inspired at times by Justice Hugo Black, at times by Jerry Garcia, Lange andPowell deliver an irreverent polemic, arguing for a world in which a more robust understanding of the First Amendment and its commitment to genuinelyfree expression require a fundamental restructuring of our overly inflated systems of copyright and similar exclusive speech-licensing regimes.\"—Yochai Benkler, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Preface\txxx  Acknowledgments\txxx  Part I.
