The Question
"Resolved: The outcome of the digital intellectual property crisis is crucial to whether or not the use of the Internet ultimately has a positive impact in terms of strengthening democracies."
Topic: The Free Culture Movement
The connection between the politics of the Internet and politics on the Internet might lie in the movements â the human networks â that are fueled by digital culture. The non-profit Creative Commons, with its forty-some international organizations around the world, has established one such network; Global Voices represents another. A new movement, called Free Culture, is growing up close to home, on Harvardâs campus, among others. Is cyber-activism the new environmentalism?
Preliminary Comments and Research
- Team: In today's Financial Times (March 15) there are a couple of articles on the Google vs. Viacom battle, which in many ways embodies debate surrounding the 'digital intellectual property crisis.' The FT's editors believe that the future of the internet does depend on the outcome of this debate. If you don't have access to this article, please email me and I can copy and paste it. On that note, I don't have any of your emails - can we start a list-serve of sorts for this debate? Mailto: andrew[dot]bennett[at]tufts[dot]edu
- Another Op-ed relevant to the debate, this one by Lawrence Lessig.
