Lawrence Lessig 的 “Free Culture” 是一本关于互联网开放内容的一部重要著作。作者如此解题：

Think about free markets, free trade, free enterprise, free society, and free speech, and you will then have the frame necessary to understand “free culture.” A free culture is not a culture in which there is no property — as a free market is not a market where there is no property, or as a society that protects the right of free speech doesn’t require that newspapers give anyone who wants access to their presses. A free culture instead is a culture that balances the important and essential incentives of copyright against the equally important and essential opportunity of society — to build upon, and transform, culture. And most relevantly to the current debate, free culture keeps that balance up to date, as technologies change and alter the balance that copyright strikes.
