backAgainst Intellectual Monopoly against Against Intellectual Property  Right now on Amazon, in the "Intellectual Property" legal books subcategory, my Against Intellectual Property (Amazon link) is ranked #22, and Boldrin and Levine's Against Intellectual Monopoly (Amazon link) is #48. Eat my dust, suckas! :)
Interestingly, both books are available for free online, yet the print editions are still selling well. [Posted at 08/19/2008 01:47 PM by Stephan Kinsella on Against Monopoly Comments Congrats to all three authors. And of course the free online editions along with the sales of the paper editions is another small nail in the coffin of the monopoly formerly known as intellectual property.
