“In this essay, (we will) argue that the so-called WikiLeaks global scandal can be understood through the framework developed by Zygmunt Bauman (2000) in Liquid Modernity, where he argues that Late Modernity is characterized by a trend of increasing liquidity. As an extension of this theory, we argue that as information becomes increasingly liquid, it leaks. For this reason, an environment of liquidity is hostile to entrenched, secretive institutions—the sort that WikiLeaks believes are inherently corrupt. http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/p2p-essay-of-the-day-wikileaks-liquid-information-leaks-for-a-liquid-society/2012/01/04

Do We Really Have To Prepare For The Fourth Box? - Falkvinge on Infopolicy

As I watch the legislative abominations named SOPA, PIPA, and NDAA follow the lead of the DMCA and the Patriot Act in the United States, I realize that the worst possible scenario for civil liberties appears to actually be materializing. The internal talk within the Swedish Pirate Party has long been that it’s our job to prevent Europe from descending into totalitarian fascism. http://falkvinge.net/2011/12/16/do-we-really-have-to-prepare-for-the-fourth-box/
