Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley. I have drawn the concept of “freedom to tinker” from Princeton computer scientist Edward Felten who has given considerable currency to it through his freedom-to-tinker.com blog. I wish to thank Jonathan Band, Julie E. Cohen, Brett Frischmann, Ariel Katz, Orin Kerr, Aaron Perzanowski, Margaret Jane Radin, Blake Ellis Reid, Andrew Torrance, Rebecca Tushnet, Molly Van Houweling, Eric von Hippel, and Fred von Lohmann for comments on an earlier version of this Article. I am grateful to colleagues at the University of Toronto School of Law for organizing the Constitution of Information symposium at which I presented an earlier version of this Article.
