Appropriation-based art forms, such as sampling, collage, remixing, modding and mashups, have become a mainstream phenomenon in recent years, due to the rapid proliferation of networked computers and devices, and the transition of the cultural archive to digital formats. While many in the business and legal communities frame these emerging cultures as a form of “piracy” or “infringement,” the millions of practitioners have begun to develop a more nuanced ethical framework surrounding these practices. In his keynote, Aram Sinnreich will present new, survey-based research analyzing these emerging ethical codes, and explore their significance for law, industry and society at large.
So Many Shades of Grey: Using Your Judgement to Answer Copyright QueriesClaire Sewell
From the fair dealing to sharing your research online, it seems that nothing with copyright is ever simple. There are few black and white rules about copyright but there are consequences for getting something wrong!
This webinar will cover some of the most common grey areas in copyright such as fair dealing and expiry dates and offer librarians some strategies to make decisions and help advise their research community on copyright issues.
The end of forgetting: Strategic agency beyond the PanopticonAram Sinnreich
Presented at ICA 2012.
Abstract
The rapid explosion of information technologies in recent years has contributed to a substantive change in the social dimensions of information sharing, and is forcing us to revise substantially our old assumptions regarding the knowledge/power dynamic. In this article, we discuss a range of strategic information-management options available to individuals and institutions in the networked society, and contrast these ‘blueprints’ to Foucault’s well-known Panopticon model. We organize these observations and analyses within a new conceptual framework based on the geometry of ‘information flux,’ or the premise that the net flow of information between an individual and a network is as relevant to power dynamics as the nature or volume of that information. Based on this geometrical model, we aim to develop a lexicon for the design, description, and critique of socio-technical systems.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of sonic branding: the intentional use of music, sound, voice and silence to build relationships between people and brands.
How can we apply the principles of sonic branding for the greater good—in the spaces we create, the products we design and the interactions we enable?
We'll take a curious, closer look at some sonic-branding fundamentals and consider real-world inspirations for what it takes to engage the hearts, minds and behaviors of anyone with ears.

Innovation of Classical Music Concerts by Hedi SchaeferHedi Schaefer
This presentation is a very condensed version of my research method and the outcomes of a 3 year learning journey. Here I created 2 Cultural Probe sets, that were tested and condensed to 1. I luckily found 10 research participants that spend 2 months with the Probe sets, created vauable insights and were interviewed individually afterwards.I had the opportunity to do 2 expert interviews, and read over 50 books.... Why Did I go on that journey? Because I love classical music since my early age and I believe it would potentially have a growing task to help balance our strained and driven every day life. Potentially... :-)

Fair Use and Academic Freedom: Copyright Attitudes and Practices Among Commun...Aram Sinnreich
Presented at the Internet Research 16 conference in Phoenix, AZ, Oct 24, 2015.
Based on:
Sinnreich, A. & Aufderheide, P. (2015). Communication scholars and fair use: The case for discipline-wide education and institutional reform. International Journal of Communication, 9; 818-828.
Abstract:
A survey of 350 communication scholars internationally shows that, although scholars are increasingly aware of fair use and (when aware of it) benefit from the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Communication Scholarship, they continue to suffer from confusion and ignorance about how to apply this feature of copyright law that is crucial to their work. Most are not aware of the code, although those who use it report success. The survey results point to the need for discipline-wide education and application of the code’s affordances for institutional reform.
Resisting Sovereign Surveillance: an activist agenda from the IncarceratedAram Sinnreich

Presentation audio: https://soundcloud.com/original-sinn/incodification_ir15
Abstract:
This paper reviews penal history in order to consider forms of resistance to mass surveillance. Because experiences of surveillance are endemic to incarcerated life, identifying tactics of resistance among these populations provides valuable insights for potential forms of counter-conduct in other circumstances of ubiquitous monitoring. We focus on three forms of protest: hunger strikes, alternate communication networks and viral dance videos, which we frame through Foucault’s theory of askesis. We introduce the term incodification as a means of describing conditions of continuous surveillance ingrained into infrastructures of everyday life, even as these conditions give rise to tactics of resistance like those identified in this paper. Our objective in introducing this term, and with our analysis as a whole, is to provoke theoretical and activist projects that account for and subvert infrastructures of incodification.
Presentation audio: https://soundcloud.com/original-sinn/posthuman_rights_cornelltech
Abstract:
The rise of digital networks is contributing to profound shifts in the way we work, play, organize, and construct our identities. The "modern individual," a convenient fiction of the 19th and 20th centuries, is giving way to a more fluid understanding of the human condition, and inspiring some thinkers to postulate that we're entering a "posthuman" age. Yet our legal, economic, and institutional systems are still tied to the notion of "individual" rights and responsibilities. How can we update these systems to accommodate such changes, and what are the risks if we don't?
Sharing in Spirit: Kopimism and the Digital EucharistAram Sinnreich
Presented at International Communication Association annual Conference, May 22, 2014:
In April, 2012, in a ceremony officiated by an “ops” wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and wielding a talking laptop, the first Kopimist wedding was performed. It marked a significant milestone for this rapidly growing religion, founded in 2010 by a Swedish philosophy student named Isak Gerson and officially recognized by Sweden less than two years later. The religion is based on the principals that copying, disseminating and reconfiguring information are not only ethically right, but are in themselves “sacred” acts of devotion. Kopimist philosophy also holds that “the internet is holy” and that “code is law” (a phrase copied from legal scholar Lawrence Lessig).
Kopimism has already raised some interesting questions and debates in both legal and religious circles. Some have grumbled that the Kopimists are simply a bunch of “pirates” cleverly using religious protection to shield them from liability for copyright infringement. Others have suggested that the religion is little more than a sophomoric rhetorical exercise, the predictable product of a precocious young philosopher. In this article, I consider these viewpoints and suggest that, if we take Kopimist doctrine at its word, we can better understand it as the crystallization of an emerging value system centered around the proliferation of digital, networked information. Like copyright, and monastic Christianity before, it, Kopimism stakes out a socioepistemological vantage point, seeking to reconcile the regulatory demands of the 20th Century’s copyright regime with the cultural ramifications of today’s global digital information infrastructure.
Based on interviews with Kopimist officials and worshippers, as well as a critical reading of the religion’s “constitution” and other doctrinal texts, I delineate the complex ethical boundaries surrounding this new belief system, and examine it in contrast to previous religious and legal systems, evaluating its points of continuity and rupture to illuminate the unique challenges to ethics and morality in an era of information abundance and continuing material and educational inequity.

#Kopimism considered: Sophistry, sacrament or scam?Aram Sinnreich
Sweden recently became the first nation officially to recognize a new religion called Kopimism, based on the principal that copying, disseminating and reconfiguring information constitutes a "sacred" act. Some argue that Kopimists are a bunch of "pirates" using religion to shield them from copyright liability. Others see it as an absurd act of political theater. In this article, I suggest that it is the crystallization of an emerging cultural value system centered around digital networks. Like copyright, and monastic Christianity before it, Kopimism represents a socioepistemological solution to the irreconcilability of traditional cultural values and emerging informatic flows.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
