'The Internet Community Is Always in a Complete Lather'

'Free Ride' author talks digital piracy bills in Congress

With the debate over bills meant to crack down on digital piracy heating up on Capitol Hill, Adweek caught up with Robert Levine, author of Free Ride: How Digital Parasites Are Destroying the Culture Business, and How the Culture Business Can Fight Back, which came out late last month. He spoke by phone while buying vinyl in a Nashville music store.

Adweek: What first got you interested in digital copyright issues?

Levine: I've always covered music and technology.
