Ahead of the iCommons Summit 2006 at the end of this week, openDemocracy has organised an informative discussion and debate on their site, with writers covering issues around open content, free culture, the digital commons and for some, a useful article titled 'iCommons for beginners'.
As stated on the site, "a rich and surprising fusion of word, sound and image is generating a new, transcultural creative space: the digital commons. It's also free ' and that provokes opposition from those with legal, business or artistic interests in keeping culture under copyright."
The discussion will be updated and expanded every day this week, until Friday 23rd. Also, join in the forum discussion, which asks the question: "Do you remix?"
Articles to be expected this week, include David Berry on the relationship between iCommons and political structures, Jane Portal on state-owned North Korean art and cultural copyright, and Sada Mire on the clash between copyright and cultural heritage and ownership in Ethiopia.
Riveting content and commons conversation - the perfect prelude to a promising event.
