Highly entertaining and interesting, Copyright Vigilantes also says something important about how we cede our creative rights to conglomerates so uncritically. We need to shift the narrative around copyright, and Claverie's book is a helpful example of how this can happen." - Stacey M. Lantagne, professor of law, Western New England University
