Williams, M. F., & Pimentel, O. (Eds.). (2014). Communicating Race, Ethnicity, and Identity in Technical Communication

Essentially, copyright is about control, and that control violates natural and common-law rights. In his conclusion, titled “The Packet-Switched Society,” Bell, an attorney, gives his closing summation, stating that this “approach strongly recalls the policy model applied to earthbound, closed, circuit-switched networks, in which a central authority controls all communications” (p. 167). Intellectual Privilege certainly represents a unique contribution to this debate. A strength Bell’s book lies in its interdisciplinarity; his argument relies on several different disciplinary approaches from public policy analysis, economics, philosophy, history, and, of course, law. While he could have only argued his position from a legal perspective, he chooses to achieve a more balanced approach that should successfully engage a larger readership. In addition, he makes the specialized discourses of law and public policy accessible to nonexpert audiences, although the charts and graphs may be overly intricate for some readers. The book also feels a little overly repetitive at times, but Bell clearly makes his case for dismantling of copyright as it currently exists. Experts from a number of diverse fields, including technical communication, rhetoric/composition, and discourse studies, should appreciate his overall point.
