"While such a critique is of course welcome and necessary, I was rather shocked in Venice when I listened to such a lecture, to discover that Geert Lovink’s considers the free culture movement as an enemy, because it advocates everything to be free. Geert presented the following expressions of free as ‘the enemy’: the freeconomic ideas of Chris Anderson (who in fact, also does not advocate everything to be free, but rather explains its economic rationale in a era of very cheap digital reproducibility), the Oxcars free culture festival (which pays it artists!), and the Barcelona charter on digital rights. This equation is of course entirely untrue, and I was surprised that someone of Geert’s stature, could make the classic mistake between free speech and free beer, which has been clarified ages ago." http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/on-the-difference-between-free-speech-and-free-beer-free-culture-as-people-want-to-be-free/2010/05/25 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
