Timbuktu and The Pirate Bay

Yesterday the popular Swedish musician Timbuktu suddenly turned up on the front page of www.thepiratebay.org – the search engine with three million registered users and an average of 16 million daily peers.

Films against downloading

Reading a few blogs recently lead us to a campaign against filesharing from 2006 initiated by Rettighedsalliancen. Mostly short commercials with a moralising pay-off regarding copying.

Et speciale bliver til

Erik og Michael skriver speciale om konceptet bag 200 DJs. De har oprettet en blog, hvor man kan følge med i overvejelserne. Indtil videre er bloggen et internt værktøj med noter og kan vel nærmest betegnes som en “stream of consciousness”.

Note fra The Oil of the 21st Century

The Oil of the 21st Century – Perspectives on Intellectual Property er navnet på en konference om kultur og fildeling, hvis første del foregik i Berlin i sidste weekend.
