  Building the Digital Commons
(Day 2 )
De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics
December 7, 2002

The second day is devoted to the control obsession over intellectual property rights and the new limitations imposed on digital information exchange. The conference presents a series of arguments for the construction of a “Digital Commons”; a democratically regulated information space in which new mechanisms for public accountability are developed alongside innovative models for a digital public sphere.
