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 THE WOOD, AND I CHOSE THE ONE LESS TRAVELED ON, AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.”

Robert Frost

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
