@aral What a great talk. After six years is even more current and critical today. Everyone, especially our politicians in Europe @EUCommission - should spend 23 minutes watching this video and take action.

Ethical Technology or Feudalism?

A talk I gave six years ago that I’d highly urge you to watch. Still entirely relevant today, if not more so (sadly).
(What I call the Indienet in the talk is what I now call the Small Web; a peer-to-peer Web owned and controlled by people not corporations or governments.)

Nothing in Commons: the end of digital collective ownership?
I'm sharing a new text where I try to summarize some older thoughts that have been slowly fermenting in the past years regarding the dead-end in which the digital commons have landed. I discuss the discomfort of their growing ambivalence, and the incredible difficulty, but urgency to move forward beyond this concept and rethink collective objectives in relation to digital tools and practices.
It is the follow-up of a copyleft/copyright/copywhat licensing workshop I gave at https://spookstad.boo. Amsterdam Alternative asked me to contribute an essay on the digital commons based on some of the topics discussed in the workshop for their web docu on collective ownership.
The text is also available in Dutch, thanks to a translation by Menno Grootveld from Starfish Books.

This is a really acute, jargon-free, clearly written and unsentimental assessment of where we now stand with regard to the chimerical notion of “the digital #commons.” It’s essential reading for anyone, especially, who ever bought into the Lessig-era #freeculture rhetoric, in whole or in part. https://www.collectiefeigendom.nl/en/ownership/digital-collective-ownership
