-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The dotCommunist Manifesto Eben Moglen* === The concluding part of Eben Moglen's essay "..We are committed to the struggle for free speech, free knowledge, and free technology. The measures by which we advance that struggle will of course be different in different countries, but the following will be pretty generally applicable: 1. Abolition of all forms of private property in ideas. 2. Withdrawal of all exclusive licenses, privileges and rights to use of electromagnetic spectrum. Nullification of all conveyances of permanent title to electromagnetic frequencies. 3. Development of electromagnetic spectrum infrastructure that implements every person's equal right to communicate. 4. Common social development of computer programs and all other forms of software, including genetic information, as public goods. 5. Full respect for freedom of speech, including all forms of technical speech. 6. Protection for the integrity of creative works. 7. Free and equal access to all publicly-produced information and all educational material used in all branches of the public education system." to which we will propose adding "8. Forcing State to withdraw from giving any concessions on resources to private-information investments (who are the wealthiest segment in the globe), thereby enhancing privatisation of the information domain and making the information domain less-accessible."
