Freeing the Fruits of Creativity -a brainstorming on strategies how to generate more free content
The digital revolution has placed fear in the heart of the content industries. As a result, more and more knowledge and cultural goods are caged behind copy protection, digital rights management and stricter copyright legislation. This has severe negative effects on society.
One important strategy to counter this development is to build a thick layer of free content. Wikipedia is an important cornerstone of this layer, the Free and Open Source world and the Creative Commons Project are others.
In this workshop we want to exchange and collect ideas on how to further promote the creation of free content, and how to free existing content. We will analyse the realities of our knowledge society from a local to a global level.
We will think about strategies to reach the huge offline-realms on the other side of the digital divide. We will dive into the world of school teachers, cartographers, brass band leaders and village headmen.
A nucleus for a free content activists database on campaign ideas and interaction-opportunities would be a nice result.
