Impressed by Lawrence Lessig (i.e. free, interesting books)

Last week, I purchased a copy of Lawrence Lessig’s book, Free Culture. I first read some of his writings in class and I’ve seen some of his lectures online. If you look at the physical book, there is a copyright notice. However, you can access the book for free on Lessig’s website. Not only is it available in closed but popular formats like PDF, but also plain text and other such formats. I am impressed, but feel vaguely stupid that I purchased it. Yet again, it is easier on the eyes to read a physical book and I do like the aesthetics of actually having the book on a shelf.
