Freedom of Expression® & the Rights of Intellectual Property Ownwers.

"What is happening to being creative and being able to utilize our "freedom of expression®?"

The book, Freedom of Expression®, Overzealous Copyright Bozos and Other Enemies of Creativity, by Kembrew McLoud, presents the greed of some, the expounding egos of others wailing the Intellectual Property Law flag and the dimishing valid uses of the "artistic license". Dear Dr. McLeod, what about writing a companion book that explores the personal injustices of "freedom of surveillance" and the horrors of "paying" for your constitultional right to freedom of speech, as "Big Brother" lays nascent intergrades to establish the *"Federal Blogging Commission". Where did you say you could buy a bummper sticker that says, "One Nation under Surveillance"?

Kembrew McLeod is a professor at the University of Iowa in the Department of Communications and is considered to be an expert on Intellectual Property copyright. He is also not without a whimzical sense of humor, as demonstrated by his many media pranks.
