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.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!
