DTC 356 Lessig 15-30

As I read, I increasingly want the author to be clear. 
He says himself that he isn't trying to be mysterious, but simply mapping out his book and points before delving into it.
However, as far as I've read, he hasn't clearly stated the problem.
This detrimental problem that he is doing so well at presenting as ominous and horrible, has not been stated. 

He says it is between "property" and "piracy", so I can understand/assume some of his argument to be about the copyright and "property" laws making the everyday citizen increasingly needed to be "approved" to use certain images and say certain things due to the exponentially growing trademarks and things that are "owned".

I would quite appreciate if he would state his message clearly though, as a reader it feels like I'm being strung along to lead up to some big reveal of his real point.
