Information Doesn't Want to Be Free: Laws for the Internet Age

Last updated October 31, 2026

By Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow explains how writers, musicians and other creators can earn a living in an age when anything digital can be copied. He sets out three laws about copying, control and the internet. He argues that digital locks and copyright crackdowns end up serving tech companies and large media firms more than artists, and he discusses fairer business models and policies for creative work online. The book includes forewords by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer.
