LISTEN to:
http://FreeTheMedia.org/radio
John Perry Barlow, Paul Garrin, Cristine Wang
discuss the issues of
Media Democracy vs. Corporate Fascism
How can we bring an end to corporate
and government domination of media
and access? What can we do to create
a democratic and sustainable space
in a privately owned media infrastructure?
Who are the corporations and state agencies
that own, control, surveil, the media
infrastructure and set the rules that
govern it? What are the barriers to
entry for creating a publicly managed
media space? How can these barriers
be overcome to create a fair and
democratic digital commons?
Who is ICANN? Are they the 'WTO of the
Internet' How do they threaten individual
freedoms in cyberspace? Who has the real
authority over the Internet and how did
they get it? How can we define public
space in a privately owned physical world?
Listen to a dialogue about these issues and
more with cyberspace pioneer John Perry Barlow,
founder of Name.Space Paul Garrin and
co-founder of FREE.THE.MEDIA!, Cristine Wang,
and the Information Liberation Front on WBAI
99.5 FM NY.
