Excerpt:
"In the chapter dedicated to freedom of speech of the book Code v2, Creative Commons creator Lawrence Lessig refutes current systems of radio frequency assignment (both through licences or actions).
In his words, there is an antidemocratic lie lying underneeth this need of limitating the spectrum and the impossibility of multiply the number of emitters, so the Government can rule the system and big media will lead the field of radio broadcasting."
