		"the culture means is process od jkf set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs".

	Free Culture (By Lawrence Lessig)
		A free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free.
		The opposite of a free culture is a “permission culture”—a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.
		A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don’t get paid.

		In a style that was uncommonly accessible for this academic-turned-storyteller, Lessig tackled the public commons, the end-to-end principle, spectrum regulation, and other classic and modern precepts in an effort to get us to look at intellectual property in a new light.
		Since its release in late March, Free Culture has become something of a remix phenomenon, with fans uploading audio versions of each chapter and others recirculating the work in new formats, such as wikis, iSilo and Mobipocket.
		Culture, it seems, has always wanted to borrow from what came before.

	Free Culture - Lawrence Lessig
		But the law was never directly concerned with the creation or spread of this form of culture, and it left this culture “free.” The ordinary ways in which ordinary individuals shared and transformed their culture—telling stories, reenacting scenes from plays or TV, participating in fan clubs, sharing music, making tapes—were left alone by the law.
		It was free for anyone— whether connected or not, whether rich or not, whether approved or not—to use and build upon.
		Free cultures are cultures that leave a great deal open for others to build upon; unfree, or permission, cultures leave much less.

		In this battle between a proprietary structure and a free structure, you show the value of the free, and as announcements such as the RealNetworks announcement demonstrate, the free still captures the imagination of the most creative in this industry.

		Lessig argues that culture should be “free,” in part so that creativity of this type is not stifled by legal action or the threat of it.
		I won’t even explain what he means by “free culture,” save to say that the views expressed in this book have much in common with the views of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

		The subtitle to “Free Culture” is “How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Creativity.” However, the freely downloadable version is a PDF.
		The CC license allows for derivative works, so we’re certainly free to make new formatted versions (time to break out Acrobat and Metapad for some html editing), but having an area available to add new versions on the main site would be most helpful to others looking for different formats.
		I just thought it was ironic that a book on “Free Culture” was made available only in a proprietary format created by a company known (and exampled in said book) to use the law to stifle innovation.

		The Stanford Center for Internet and Society is hosting a conference, “Cultural Environmentalism at 10,” on March 10/11 to reflect upon the decade since the publication of Jamie Boyle’s fantastic book, Shamans, Software, and Spleens.
		The book, and the articles that followed it, gave birth to what we should call the “cultural environmentalism” movement — the movement to think about IP policy as environmentalists think about pollution policy.
		Ten years ago, Duke Law Professor Jamie Boyle suggested that the history of the environmental movement offered powerful theoretical and practical lessons to those who sought to recognize the importance of the public domain, and to expose the harms caused by a relentlessly maximalist program of intellectual property expansion.
