Book excerpt: Reared on a bottle when his mother died, the orphan foal never grew as strong and handsome as his friends. So instead of becoming a racehorse in the big city he was sold to a farmer for country racing. Yearning to be famous, he only had one minor race win and then because of drought he was re-sold. Fate returned him to the Stud where he had been born to become a hack for the owner's granddaughter and became a hero when he saved her from a bushfire. The stud owner who had formerly despised the unattractive orphan foal then cared for him for life declaring him 'the best horse I have ever bred'.

After leading the New South Wales Central Western Districts trainers premiership for three consecutive years she became the first woman ever licenced to train at Randwick and the first woman to be granted a No. 1 licence, a position she held for 15 years until her retirement.

Download or read book The Public Domain written by James Boyle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. In this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age-today's heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today's policies are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation. Boyle identifies as a major problem the widespread failure to understand the importance of the public domain-the realm of material that everyone is free to use and share without permission or fee. The public domain is as vital to innovation and culture as the realm of material protected by intellectual property rights, he asserts, and he calls for a movement akin to the environmental movement to preserve it. With a clear analysis of issues ranging from Jefferson's philosophy of innovation to musical sampling, synthetic biology and Internet file sharing, this timely book brings a positive new perspective to important cultural and legal debates. If we continue to enclose the "commons of the mind," Boyle argues, we will all be the poorer.
