digital networks as medium for embodied knowledge dance-tech project explores the potential of the new Internet technologies for knowledge production and distribution on body based artistic practices and it's intersections with other disciplines such as new media, architecture, philosophy, anthropology and more. All dance-tech projects attempt to place situated embodiment as a fundamental condition and movement arts as relevant practices to contemporaneity with interdisciplinary framework. dance-tech is conceived as a tactical media project and it aims to develop and maintain a series of online and hybrid collaborative platforms for the interdisciplinary explorers of the performance of movement, innovators and emergent performance practices. It develops as an experimental, adaptable and changing pedagogical intervention on the knowledge distribution systems of contemporary performance and their contexts. It seeks to systematically and flexibly, explore the changing new media landscape and its openness for creative and social innovation.
Joe Biden: There's No Reason To Treat Intellectual Property Any Different Than Tangible Property Ah, Joe Biden. Is there nothing about intellectual property that he can't get wrong? Variety has an interview with the Vice President on intellectual property issues, and while there's nothing new, it's like a compendium of wrong or misleading statements. It's no wonder the entertainment industry so loves him. There's no lie or misrepresentation he won't repeat. "Look, piracy is outright theft," Biden said. First, "piracy" is not "outright theft." He is quick to say that he considers it more than a problem of just the entertainment industry. Biden may be even worse than John Morton at this conflation game. "Virtually every American company that manufactures something is getting killed by counterfeiters: clothing, software, jewelry, tires," Biden said. Getting killed? Besides, if we're really saying that copying ideas and passing them off as your own is "theft" and should be punished the same as "theft" of tangible goods, shouldn't Joe Biden be in jail? Oh come on!
The Future of Ideas The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World (2001) is a book by Lawrence Lessig, at the time of writing a professor of law at Stanford Law School, who is well known as a critic of the extension of the copyright term in US.[1] It is a continuation of his previous book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, which is about how computer programs can restrict freedom of ideas in cyberspace. While copyright helps artists get rewarded for their work, Lessig warns that a copyright regime that is too strict and grants copyright for too long a period of time (e.g. the current US legal climate) can destroy innovation, as the future always builds on the past.[2] Lessig also discusses recent movements by corporate interests to promote longer and tighter protection of intellectual property in three layers: the code layer, the content layer, and the physical layer. The code layer is that which is controlled by computer programs. Editions[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Ten songs stolen by politicians 24 September 2010Last updated at 13:28 By Cat Koo BBC News Swedish band Abba is suing a Danish anti-immigration party for using their song, Mama Mia in a rally. The youth wing of the party sang the song, changing its lyrics to suit their far-right agenda. But the Swedish legends are by no means the only musicians to object to politicians using their work. Earlier this year, the British Conservative Party used the rock group's 2004 hit in their election campaign. Singer Tim Booth complained about the use of the band's song at a Labour Party Conference in 2008. French President Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party used the smash single by indie band MGMT at its national congress, and in two online videos, in 2009. The incident happened a week before the French parliament considered a law put forward by Mr Sarkozy's party to crack down on online piracy. • Jackson Browne sued Mr McCain for the use of Running on Empty.

Au front de la révolution du droit d’auteur ! Poser les fondements d'une réforme du droit d'auteur et du financement de la création : tel est l'objet d'un nouveau document préparé par Philippe Aigrain pour La Quadrature du Net. Notre chroniqueur Lionel Maurel, bibliothécaire engagé, a contribué avec enthousiasme à son élaboration et invite ses confrères à s'en emparer, alors que le gouvernement va entamer une consultation sur l’acte II de l’exception culturelle. Le rejet d’ACTA par le Parlement européen, tout comme la mise en échec en début d’année de la loi SOPA aux États-Unis, obtenus grâce à une mobilisation citoyenne sans précédent, constituent à l’évidence deux grandes victoires. Mais leur portée reste limitée, car il s’agissait essentiellement de batailles défensives, menées par les défenseurs des libertés numériques et de la culture libre pour barrer la route à des projets liberticides.
