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?
