The space of the technically feasable, socially progressive, and culturally innovative is much more extensive than the one bound by the law, particularly copyright law. In this larger space, we can see the glimpses of an informational culture where the boundaries between "producers" and "users" are almost completely eroded, new forms of production and distribution emerge to serve needs and constituencies ignored by the formal economies.
This panel will bring together some of the most daring explorers of this space, to tell about their experiences and ideas, as well as discuss the significance of these practices for society at large.
