An IP Environmentalism for Culture and Knowledge?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the made-up-words dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An article by James Boyle in the FT argues that we are (slowly) moving towards a 'cultural environmentalism' that tries to protect the public domain in the way that the environmental movement tries to protect the natural ecology. Apparently there will be a (free) conference at Stanford on the subject soon, organized by Larry Lessig's Center there."

    FT argues that we are (slowly) moving towards a 'cultural environmentalism' that tries to protect the public domain in the way that the environmental movement tries to protect the natural ecology.

    If we try to "protect" culture the same way that the enviornmental movement tries to "protect" the enviornment, the solution is to have all culture monitored and strictly controled by the government.
