Article on FreeCulture
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008A few FreeCulture chapters, including our own, were interviewed in this piece about the RIAA and illegal music sharing. It’s short, but luckily doesn’t take much of an editorial spin. It remains quote-heavy from both FreeCulture and the RIAA.
Our position was represented well, but hopefully we’ll find more outlets for the subtlety of our claims — our arguments are multi-faceted and far-reaching. They extend far beyond the logical statement that the RIAA does “bad business.” They represent a more progressive way of viewing intellectual property, with immediate practical consequences, but also with long-term consequences that will determine the future of fields like communication, politics, and public health.
