Why is No Logo copyrighted? Why isn it available on-line for free?
Most of No Logo is posted in various forms for free downloading online however we can’t link to those sites from here or we’d get in trouble with Naomi’s publishers (try Google). We are looking into getting the entire book on this website soon. Why the mixed messages? When Naomi first negotiated and signed book contracts for No Logo in 1996, online publishing wasn’t where it is at now. She also found that publishers were unwilling to contribute to the extensive research process required to write the book—five years of investigation and international travel—unless the material was copyrighted. Much has changed since then: all the material in Naomi’s new book, Fences and Windows, is online on this website, and we are looking at ways to publish future books as “copyleft.
