Free Expression Policy Project releases Report

From Natalia Kennedy at the Brennan Center at New York University:

The Information Commons, a report just published by the Free Expression
Policy Project, documents the fast-growing movement to create online
information-sharing communities.
The Information Commons is a groundbreaking report that links the
vitality of 21st century democracy to the creation of online communities

dedicated to producing and sharing information. A response to "digital
rights management," media consolidation, and growing imbalance in the
copyright system, these "information commons" emphasize open access,
sharing, collaboration, and communal management. The Information
Commons gives an overview of the problem of enclosure, explains how
theories of the commons have been adapted to the information age, and
describes dozens of flourishing information communities.
