Morning
The morning session is made to provide everyone with a crash course and head start on several issues that are revolve around the idea of free culture, such as copyright infringement, file sharing, design by community, free/libre and open source software, pirate politics, free economics, appropriation art, censorship, remix culture, etc. Two lectures are scheduled (Aymeric Mansoux, Eric Kluitenberg) so as to both give some historical context to these issues and highlight their relevance with contemporary technological social, economic and political concerns.
More than being just a passive broadcasting moment, these lectures are meant to be a space of dialogue.
