Steal Raganwald's Book!

Heartfelt essays on the freedom of people and ideas

About the Book

Reg "Raganwald" Braithwaite's internet ranting, raving, and good-old-fashioned rambling on subjects he is utterly unqualified to speak about: The politics of intellectual property and the erosion of civil liberties. From "The Freedom to Drink Coffee" to "I Have A Bad Feeling About This," these essays will educate where they fail to entertain and entertain where they fail to educate.

Proudly manufactured from 100% recycled blog posts. NOTE: This book is inspired by Abbie Hoffman's anti-authoritarian classic Steal This Book, but is obviously a different book.

ATTENTION: This material is free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech, so you are free to repost, remix, or toss in the refuse bin as you see fit.
