From Wikipedia to YouTube, community created content has created a lot of buzz. In this book, a trio of Finnish lawyer-activists and scholars Herkko Hietanen, Ville Oksanen and Mikko Välimäki summarize the law, business and policy of community created content. The authors teach and research technology law at Finnish universities. In addition, their law firm Turre Legal has consulted numerous clients on open content licensing and related issues.

Legal for Communities made easy,
This review is from: Community Created Content. Law, Business and Policy (Paperback)
This book really takes a very complex subject and makes sense out of it. The examples help make a real life case for why it is great to give out your content for free to the public and how you can commercialize the results. I have to say it has added something very special to our community.
