I haven't taken a look at this in detail yet, but Eben Moglen seems to be the only academic (that i've seen) looking at Free Software from a philosophical anrachist perspective. I expect to see much more from philosophy and politics departments soon on this ...

I have been thinking about Free Software as a uniquely successful anarchist project, and one which may well--through its success--have impacts beyond the tools we use on our computers. By "anarchist" I mean of course the actual definition, rather than reference to black-masked Molotov-cocktail-throwers, namely: a project based on the voluntary cooperation of free individuals, without hierarchy

In recent library/internet news, google plans to begin scanning the world's books, starting with collections at Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, U. Michigan, and the NY Public Library, and offering searchable collections online. This furthers the dream of an internet that gives the world's citizens access to any information they need, for whatever their purposes. And will presumably build on

OK so I've figured out how to add links and other goodies to my sidebar, I added a firefox logo and my CC license. added a photo in my profile, and flickr photos in my blog posts. Not too bad for a day, the only problem is I didn't get much other work done. This is 6 years since I last touched html, and then it was only a mild dabble. I'm not much of a programmer. So I need help on the following

This is the start of my thoughts on copyrigh/left, IP and free software. My pal devlin who works on biotech/agriculture IP issues, sent me a Globe and Mail story about Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy. M$ of course is leading the charge, worried about pirate copies of Window XP funding terrorism (etc.). My response was: "Rats scurrying on a sinking ship." To which Devlin, the
