I still can't believe it. I'm one of the many junior people (10 years ago) who Keith reached out to and provided such consistent encouragement and reinforcement. His work was an inspiration. I will be giving a lecture at Univ. of Louisville, today, which I have dedicated to Keith's memory. Also there is a conference at Hofstra Law School this weekend, a portion of which is dedicated to honoring Keith including an award in his name and a panel devoted to exploring his work as a legal scholar.

His light shone very brightly back then and still does. Thank you, Keith. Keith was a fellow student at Wayne State and I was in awe of his talents, wisdom, and kindness.

When I met him he was an artist and kind of a hippie wearing a flowered shirt, dark purple tinted glasses and a medallion with long hair. The first time I saw him he was at school playing the fiddle very fast and singing with a Southern accent--hard to forget since it was so unique. He always talked about other people's creative accomplishments and introduced me to the work of authors, artists, and filmmakers including Jorge Luis Borges, Richard Brautigan, Ursula K. Le Guin, Akira Kurosawa, Tony Smith, the Cass Corridor artists and others that I probably never would have known about. It was as if these creative people formed a world that Keith lived in. I appreciate all that I learned from him. I met Keith in high school and learned about so many things from him, we moved to NYC in the late 70s.

In his book, Boyle explores the frontiers of intellectual property in a digital age and posits that public domain is as vital to innovation and culture as material protected by intellectual property law. Boyle argues that open culture should be protected as fiercely as open land is conserved by the environmental movement.

The review evaluates the fitness of the UK’s intellectual property regime for an internet age. It finds that IP laws put in place several hundred years ago are now stifling modern innovation and goes on to make ten specific recommendations for IP law reform to correct the problem. These recommendations include approaches to clearing patent thickets; dealing with orphan works; and transitioning to evidence-based, rather than lobby-based, IP policy; as well as rejection of a US-like fair use limitation.
