Copyleft Is Not Enough
"Freedom is not about having power over someone else (or what someone else has), it’s about oneself (and one’s possessions) being free of someone else’s power."June 07 2009
The Illustrated Story of Copyright
"In this book, I trace the story of copyright from its adoption in this country over 210 years ago through the headline issues posed by the Internet and the digitizing of creative works. Using sidebars and photographs to illustrate the major turning points, I try to explain copyright straightforwardly enough so that teenagers can understand it, and in enough detail to help inform even those who are already familiar with the basics." -- Edward SamuelsJune 05 2009
In the Illusion of Sex, two faces are perceived as male and female.
However, both faces are actually versions of the same androgynous face.
One face was created by increasing the contrast of the androgynous
face, while the other face was created by decreasing the contrast. The
face with more contrast is perceived as female, while the face with
less contrast is perceived as male. The Illusion of Sex demonstrates
that contrast is an important cue for perceiving the sex of a face,
with greater contrast appearing feminine, and lesser contrast appearing
masculine.

"Zielsetzung dieses (Lehr-)Buches ist neben einer 'Spurensuche' nach den
Ursprüngen mediensoziologischen Denkens eine konsequente Verknüpfung
von Medien(-angeboten) mit soziologisch bedeutsamen Phänomenen.
Thematisiert werden beispielsweise das Verhältnis von Medien und Macht,
Medien und Identität, Medien und sozialer Ungleichheit, Medien und
Kultur."

"In ihrer mittlerweile klassisch gewordenen Arbeit haben Peter L. Berger und Thomas Luckmann die Wissenssoziologie auf eine neue Basis gestellt. Mit dem begrifflichen Instrumentarium von Philosophie, Anthropologie, Sozialpsychologie und Sprachwissenschaft gehen sie der Frage nach, durch welche Prozesse sich für die Mitglieder von Gesellschaften eine intersubjektiv geteilte, gemeinsame Wirklichkeit herausbildet: wie die Formen der Vermittlung zwischen der objektiven Wirklichkeit der Gesellschaft, die durch soziale Interaktionen hervorgebracht, institutionell verstetigt und in vielfältiger Weise tradiert wird, und die subjektiven Bildungsprozesse der beteiligten Individuen zu verstehen sind."

Lawrence Lessig Awaits "Internet 9/11", Predicts Subsequent Internet Censorship
"Lawrence Lessig, a respected Law Professor from Stanford University told an audience at this years Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Half Moon Bay, California, that 'There’s going to be an i-9/11 event' which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.
Lessig also revealed that he had learned, during a dinner with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an 'i-Patriot Act' if you will, and that the Justice Department is waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions."

"A Hacker Manifesto deftly defines the fraught territory between the ever more strident demands by drug and media companies for protection of their patents and copyrights and the pervasive popular culture of file sharing and pirating. This vexed ground, the realm of so-called "intellectual property," gives rise to a whole new kind of class conflict, one that pits the creators of information--the hacker class of researchers and authors, artists and biologists, chemists and musicians, philosophers and programmers--against a possessing class who would monopolize what the hacker produces."

"This text by Ken is unprecedented, in its content and construction, its movement, what it produces, everything, is a jubilation. It makes me laugh and interests me. It interests me completely."

heather"Open Innovation": McKinsey emphiehlt in ihrem neuesten Quaterly, von Open-Source-Prinzipien zu lernen...
...und beruft sich dabei, oh Wunder, auf den Waffennarr und Rechtsanarchisten Eric Raymond.
Nach Einschätzung des Commonsblogsy hat das
"mit der Idee von “Offenheit” und Kooperation im Kontext commonsgerechten Wirtschaftens [...] wenig zu tun.
Denn diese beruht unter anderem auf Prinzipien von
- Regeltransparenz und -akzeptanz (nicht Geschäftsstrategien, von denen die kreativen Kunden im Grunde nichts wissen)
- Gleichberechtigung (als peer oder Partner, nicht als Kunde oder Geschäftspartner in hierarchischen Strukturen)
- Freiwilligkeit, die auf einem hohen Maß an verfügbarer Information beruht (und nicht geködert ist)
- Reziprozität (was geben die Firmen, die Kreativität “abschöpfen”, den Kreativen zurück?)
vor allem aber: auf dem Prinzip der Gerechten Verteilung des gemeinsam erzeugten Reichtums/Produkts."

The Century of the Self (Part 1)
"This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy." - Adam Curtis

The Society of Spectacle
The 1973 film by French Situationist Guy Debord, based on the 1967 book of the same title, shows the dominating oppression of modernization of both the private and public spheres of everyday life by economic forces. The hegemonic mass media operates as a propaganda machine in both communist and capitalist nations and creates commodity fetishism in the minds of the masses.
