Design a book cover, protect the public domain

April 7th, 2008<http://sciencecommons.org/weblog/archives/2008/04/07/design-a-book-cover-protect-the-public-domain/>by

James Boyle <http://www.law.duke.edu/boylesite/>, the new Chairman of the
Board <http://www.law.duke.edu/news/story?id=1876&u=11> at Creative Commons
and a founder of Science Commons, is holding a contest to design a cover for
his new book, *The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind*. In the
book, Boyle argues that more and more of material that used to be free to
use without having to pay a fee or ask permission is becoming private
property — at the expense of innovation, science, culture and politics.

Details, including specs and a link to some great source
material<http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/>for imagery, are
available at the Worth1000
website<http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?contest_id=18948&display=photoshop>.
Both the book and the cover will be distributed under a CC
Attribution-NonCommercial
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/>license.
