If you are looking for something to read over Christmas, you might enjoy "Free Ride,' by Robert Levine.
It's not the kind of book I would usually read — I tend to an anti-copyright stance — but I thought it was well-written, and really quite interesting. It did make me question whether creativity would flourish or fail in the absence of copyright, although I was not convinced by the argument that Internet access providers should pay rightsholders on the basis that they profit from infringement (perhaps not unsurprisingly).
Worth a look if you are interested in a slightly different approach to copyright in the digital age.
