The world’s most dynamic community pioneering the growth of global digital culture comes to Japan 29 July - 1 August, 2008 Version 2.0 - Mar 2008

Once a year, people from around the world come together to talk about a free culture for all on the Internet

Artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, philosophers, lawyers, activists, technologists, educators and free-thinkers from all continents

And in this mountain of difference, there is one ideal that we share:

A free digital culture

A digital culture Where creativity is compensated

A digital culture That continues the free sharing of knowledge and creativity that built the ﬁrst Internet
