More From Barbara Kingsolver

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don't get paid. a culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom. anarchy is not what i advance here. instead, the free culture that i defend in this book is a balance between anarchy and control.
