Freeing Culture: Ending Information Classism
This document discusses freeing culture and ending information classism. It summarizes that information is power but some seek to keep it for themselves. It then discusses how access to information and culture is restricted through paywalls and copyright, costing over $1.5 million per year for some academic journals. It proposes solutions such as signing open access pledges, creating and remixing open works of art and culture, supporting artists and authors, and civil disobedience through downloading restricted information and sharing it openly.
