In this first part, I counter two points that have been taken for granted
with free and open source software production, and the subsequent rise
of free culture.  


The first point is the idea that free and open source software is primarily the opposition to closed source, proprietary, software

of either ethics or economics.

precise, have prevented an acknowledgement of the tension between different attempts to normalise and rationalise free culture and the richness
of its practices and contexts.


In particular, I want to falsify first the notion

of free and open source software as a paradigm shift, by showing another
side of this revolutionary dimension in the fabrication of virtual communities which emulate endangered and speculative practices, and second,
demonstrate that the culture of free and open things is a in fact a struggle,
but not against an external hegemony, but a struggle within itself which
is symptomatic of liberal democratic and post-political systems.
 
Each of
these arguments will be expressed in two chapters: Chapter 1 Paradigm
Maintenance and User Freedom, and Chapter 2 In Search of Pluralism.

COPY IT RIGHT-morton distributionreligion intro.jpg

Morton developed an approach he called COPY-IT-RIGHT, an anti-copyright approach to making and freely sharing Media art. The Distribution Religion and Morton’s individual and collaborative Media art works were released under his COPY-IT-RIGHT license. COPY-IT-RIGHT encouraged people to make faithful copies, caring for and distributing the work as widely as possible.
