Quick and easy read. Some chapters were more aimed towards content creators than I expected. ( )

Not a lightning bolt of unexpected information, but it reaches a powerful crescendo nonetheless. ( )

This book challenged my thinking on the relationship between art and copyright. It actually gave me a lot of ideas, though indirectly, on how I hope to proceed with a book I've written. ( )

'... not savable, not reinstatable, not resuscitatable'

'Every pirate wants to be an admiral'

There were a lot of powerful words and ideas that came out of this book, and a lot of important criticism of the current system of media distribution and copyrighting. He addresses the unsustainable nature of the media industry in light of the internet, and also how we don't necessarily need it to work because creators will always find a way, and fans will always look for a way to compensate and support their favourite creators to ensure their will be future content. He sites examples of free to view web comics that earn their creators a living through merchandising, or Patreon and GoFundMe projects.

It was a fascinating read, with a lot of important ideas. Listened to it on audio book and my only criticism was the annoying sound effects between sections, because they really got on my nerves very quickly. ( )
