The Right to Share: What Does Copying Have to Do with Freedom?
*Details:* The Internet has unleashed the potential to communicate and
collaborate like never before, and the result has been an unprecedented flow
of culture and information. Millions of individuals are now sharing and
creating culture: copying, cutting, remixing, and participating in new and
different ways.**Sometimes this activity is transformative. Sometimes it’s
straight copying. In either case, there is a clear connection between this
sharing of culture and personal freedom.
*Attendees will learn: *This talk will explore how various conceptions of
“freedom” have shaped the social movements for free software, free culture
and free knowledge, and how this ideology has manifested itself in real
action. It will connect theory with practice, exploring and cultural
innovations and political changes that have spawned forth from these
movements. Lastly, it will make the case that the broad-based availability,
accessibility and abundance of culture is a good thing for a global society.
