Wired just posted my profile of Jonathan Lethem — author of Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn — who has recently become interested in playing agent provocateur with copyright dogma. He and I met for coffee and talked about two recent “experiments” he’s done with releasing rights to his new novel, You Don’t Love Me Yet, and several of his short stories. Essentially, he’s encouraging people to make derivative works out of his creations while still affording him enough time to reap some financial benefit from those creations.

Read the profile to find out more about Lethem’s copyright experiments.
