DESCRIPTION:We made a bet\, some decades ago\, that the information econom
 y would be based on buying and selling (and hence restricting copying of) 
 information. We were totally\, 100 percent wrong\, and now the world’s i
 n turmoil because of it. What does a copy-native economy look like? How do
  everyone from barbers to musicians become richer\, more fulfilled and mor
 e civilly engaged in a real information society. And what do we do about t
 he fact that a couple of dinosauric entertainment companies are determined
  to screw it up?\n\nCory Doctorow is a blogger\, science fiction writer an
 d journalist. He is an editor of Boing Boing (http://www.boingboing.net/)\
