Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written and heavily biased book
Review: I ordered this book expecting a thorough and unprejudiced recounting of the evolution of copyright law of the past 2 centuries. instead i got a very biased account of it. The author clearly leans toward the notion that copyright law is too restricting and tries to make that point strongly in all the evidence he sites. The evidence itself is not very compelling because it is presented is a very light manner, with very few quotes from actual court decisions. The author instead relies on trying to convince us by presenting his viewpoint of copyright law and his own commentary. instead of a complete account you get a one-sided presentation. The writing is also very elementary and reads as if it was geared toward the second grade. i was very dissappointed with this book and was barely able to finish it. i would not waste my time with this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
