Donna Wentworth welcomes JD Lasica, journalist, blogger, Ourmedia co-founder, and author of the just-published "Darknet: Hollywood's War Against the Digital Generation" to Copyfight where he's guest-blogging for a few days.

Says JD, in introducing the book in his first post: "[It was] obvious to me that we needed to bring this discussion out of its current orbit -- among IP experts, academia, Capitol Hill, geeks and tech conference attendees -- and try to connect with the wider public... And so I set about not to argue a new intellectual thesis, but to tell stories -- accessible, meaningful narrative accounts of the people affected by the battle over digital rights."
