Summary:

In 1998, communication professor Kembrew McLeod managed to trademark the phrase "freedom of expression" -- an alarming comment on the extent to which intellectual property law has come to restrict creativity and the free expression of ideas. This program, based on McLeod's book, explores the legal and ethical battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of the cultural commons in the United States and beyond.
