about freeculture.org

There are many movements fighting for free culture, such as CopyLeft, Creative Commons (my own personal favourite) and of course, the entire open source movement. If you are interested, there is a new group emerging mainly in the U.S.A, called Freeculture.org. It's basically a studentmovement on campuses around the globe with a mission: to educate the public on the dangers of copyright. It's worth checking out...
A quote from their manifesto:
"We refuse to accept a future of digital feudalism where we do not actually own the products we buy, but we are merely granted limited uses of them as long as we pay the rent. We must halt and reverse the recent radical expansion of "intellectual property rights", which threaten to reach the point where they trump any and all other rights of the individual and society."

Peace out.
