Regrettably, however, Free Culture promises to be of little help in crafting useful solutions to these problems. To be sure, real problems exist, and addressing them will require a number of difficult determinations, including whether the hazards posed by new technologies outweigh their benefits and how best to ensure that property rights evolve to promote the public interest. Curiously, though, the world depicted in Free Culture is at odds with Lessig's dystopian vision, for it is a vibrant place where technological innovation, creative endeavors, and public discussion of political issues flourish. Lessig maintains that what we face is akin to an environmental crisis, with the crucial difference being that cultural rather than physical resources are under siege.
