Copyright and the environment

Michael Geist has been musing on the parallels between copyright and environmental politics. He must have been reading James Boyle's work recently, particularly the wonderful Shamans, Software and Spleens.

A central theme of my book, Back to the Future: Digital Decision Making, which is due with the publishers at the end of this month, is the parallels between environmental decision making and decision making surrounding the creation, deployment and regulation of complex information systems. It's nearly done and I'm looking forward to handing it over but there is still a fair bit of formatting, indexing etc. still to do, so I'd better get back to it!
