WHO OWNS THIS SENTENCE? A HISTORY OF COPYRIGHTS AND WRONGS
Copyright is everywhere. Not only books but wallpaper, computer programs, pop songs, cartoon characters, snapshots, and cuddly toys are now deemed to be intellectual properties—making copyright a labyrinthine construction of laws with colorful and often baffling rationales covering almost all products of human creativity. But it wasn’t always so. WHO OWNS THIS SENTENCE? is a humorous and enlightening cultural, legal, and global history of the idea that intangible things can be owned and makes a persuasive case for seeing copyright as an engine of inequality in the twenty-first century.
Copies of WHO OWNS THIS SENTENCE? are available for purchase through the Mark Twain Store; proceeds benefit The Mark Twain House & Museum. Books will be shipped after the event. We regret that we are NOT able to ship books outside the United States as it is cost-prohibitive to do so.
