Cultural relativism

“...civilization is not something absolute, but ... is relative, and ... our ideas and conceptions are true only so far as our civilization goes.”
Franz Boas (1887)

Step 1: State the obvious

Digitalization changed everything

& The net did the rest

Theoretical & possible becomes inevitable

Law & Morality

law regulates what is, not what should be

We need more poets

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by,’ And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

Step 2: law & ethics taxonomy

What to do?

“The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers”

Too much poetry not enough activism!

We need to convince our opponents of the pointlessness of their positions

Use the force

Satyagraha
Openly, conscientiously,
non-violently frustrate the rule of law

there are too few people openly jaywalking

Expose The flaws

Proposal: open file sharing rings

Step 1. recruit a musician

Step 2. gather 100? volunteers

Step 3. all the volunteers openly file share

Step 4. all the volunteers simultaneously turn themselves in for copyright violation

Step 4. See the system weep
