Neil Weinstock Netanel is Professor of Law at the University of California, Los Angeles. He writes and teaches in the areas of copyright, international intellectual property, and media and telecommunications.
"Copyright's Paradox fluently examines an array of recent copyright
controversies, highlighting the problematic free speech
implications of an ever-expanding copyright regime...Netanel's
incisive examination of his subject through a First Amendment lens
helps illuminate some of the issue's critical cultural and
constitutional dimensions."--Harvard Law Review
"Neil Netanel is rightly hailed as one of the most important
writers and thinkers in the field... his latest book, Copyright's
Paradox, cements that reputation...Best of all, Copyright's Paradox
offers solutions, a set of simple legislative recommendations that
are both realistic and promising-solutions that will end the
copyright wars without destroying the public interest or the
fortunes of artists."--Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
"Timely and topical...Netanel's well-researched, informative and
eminently readable book is a thoughtful and important contribution
to the debate, and should be read by those seeking practical
solutions to a problem that will not go away with wishful
thinking."--New Jersey Lawyer
"Copyright's Paradox is a major book by a major thinker, and a must
read for all."--William Patry, The Patry Copyright Blog
"Netanel makes an original and creative argument that copyright is
in the end about speech. Copyright's Paradox should be on the list
of required reading for anyone concerned with the inner workings of
the copyright system, and those interested in issues of
institutional or regulatory design as they relate to public policy
goals."--Yale Law Journal
