		Libre culture is presently being reduced to economic, moral, technological or legal logics, all of which (in different ways) claim to circumvent the political and move us along effortlessly in straight, non-political lines (Berry 2004).
		Insofar as libre culture eschews the political, we argue, it is not likely to be very democratic in its effects at all.
		Which is to say, it is about time that libre culture meaningfully engaged with various other struggles against the commodification of knowledge, as they are expressed, for example, in terms of native knowledge, farmers, the sick, and workers more generally.

	Library Autonomous Zone: Critique of the creative commons
		The Libre Society David M. Berry and Giles Moss have recently written a polemic critiquing the creative commons (see the extended entry for the full article).
		In response, Berry and Moss have created the Libre Society and launched the Libre Commons project, "a set of licenses which reject the legalistic and 'culture as resource' position of the Creative Commons and instead hope to develop a concept of the creative multitude through political action and ethical practices.
		It is to the political struggle of libre culture and the commons that we finally turn.

	REVISITING THE INTELLECTUAL HERITAGE OF A FREE SOCIETY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Failing to clearly distinguish between society and the state, Aristotle said that the purpose of the state was to advance the well-being and happiness of the members of political society.
		Distinguishing between a militant society, in which war prevails and the government controls the lives of the citizens, and industrial society where people produce and trade peacefully, Spencer observes that the state interferes with natural evolutionary processes.
		Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992) was concerned with the nature, scope, limits, use, and abuse of reason and formulated a largely antirationalist theory of a free society based on the inevitable ignorance and fatal conceit of intellectuals who think that they can design an economy better than what would result from the voluntary interactions of individuals.

	The politics of the libre commons
		Be this as it may, we argue that contestation and the politicization of libre culture is a positive development, a healthy by–product of a growing and maturing movement.
		Libre culture is presently being reduced to economic, moral, technological or legal logics, all of which (albeit in different ways) claim to circumvent the political and move us along effortlessly in straight, non–political lines (Berry, 2004).
		Which is to say, it is about time that libre culture meaningfully engaged with various other struggles against the commodification of knowledge, as they are expressed, for example, in terms of the pirating of native knowledge, environmentalism, GM foods, welfare rights, drug patenting, and worker’s rights and struggle more generally.

	TUCSON'S BARRIO LIBRE
		the division known as the Barrio Libre, with its tortuous lanes and alleys, its uninviting adobes with their cool, roomy courtyards in the interiors, its motley population of Mexicans and Indians, and the mellifluous chatter of la lengua oastellana, looks a bit of old Mexico transplanted to the Northern Republic."
		Here, the Mescalian could imbibe his fill, and either male or female could, in peaceful intoxication, sleep on the sidewalk or in the middle of the streets, with all their ancient rights respected.
		A 'free district' such as the Barrio Libre, outside the city's tight control, was a very important element in a city complex.

	The Withering of Civil Society \| makeworlds
		Disciplinary societies, as I suggested earlier, are characterized by the enclosures or institutions that serve as the skeleton or backbone of civil society; these enclosures define the striae of social space.
		Civil society, as we have seen, is central to a form of rule, or government, as Foucault says, that focuses, on the one hand, on the identitv of the citizen and the processes of civilization and, on the other hand, on the organization of abstract labor.
		Even in the society of control, labor is still the Â»savage beastÂ« that Hegel feared, refusing to he subjugated and tamed - and perhaps its potential is even greater today when it is no longer engaged, mediated, and disciplined through the institutions of civil society as it was in the previous paradigm.

		Libre (free, open source) software has evolved during the last decade from an obscure, marginal phenomenon into a relatively well-known, widely available, extensively used set of applications.
		Libre software solutions are even market leaders in some segments and are experiencing huge growth in others.
		It avoids the ambiguity of "free" in English, since "libre" means only "free as in free speech", and the term is used in Europe in particular, although its first use can be traced to the United States (2).

		One way or another, the currents which the SI took as predecessors saw their purpose as involving a radical redefinition of the role of art in the twentieth century.
		This idea is also an interesting forerunner of the SI's later determination not to be 'recuperated' and thus rendered harmless by spectacular society, instead remaining aloof and refusing to 'explain' themselves or their ideas.
		The Situationists would argue that society reaches the level of the spectacle when nearly all aspects of culture and experience have become mediated by capitalist social relation.

		SEDEM has demanded that until victims of the armed conflict are paid, the Access to Information Law is passed--forcing the army to render their expense accounts, and the government issues a reintegration plan for t he thousands of newly retired troops, the embargo should remain intact.

		I do not say, global information sources are not to manipulate, but I assume it is more difficult to control a civil society with individuals having their own opinion.
		As a civil society finally has full access to ICT, it needs a) to be able to form an individual opinion and b) different structures and organisations to realize those opinions.
		Once, a civil society has its ICT access, presumably a process of reorganisation or reformation of the system of (democratic) federalism has to follow up.

	Guy Debord's letters
		I came to know Editions Champ Libre quite late, in the summer of 1971, because it already had a certain modern and subversive prestige, and because they proposed to me to re-publish [The Society of the] Spectacle against the Masperizer[18] Buchet.
		[23] And I do not believe that Champ Libre has dumfounded our contemporaries with a disconcerting display of historical science: rather, I am struck by the idea of finding out how many other editors are ignorant and unfortunate in their choices of incapable people to pay.
		It is thus necessary to leave to their annihilation those who, against all good sense, claim that everything that Champ Libre has published has my literary (and maybe political) approval.
