Far off of any cultural funding or corporate resources, web user communities
in the last 10 years have opened territories of radically new cultural
production. At the same time, they have challenged the economical power
positions of large corporations. The web gives it's users access to
large-scale distribution channels and enables them to freely share
information regardless of commercial interests. While for online artists
thus the conventional functions of dealers and distributors in certain ways
become obsolete, still no economy is established, which would reward their
highly relevant cultural achievements.

Copyleft wants to provide the framework for a cultural production online,
which explores the new possibilities of functioning outside of the
traditional parameters of the copyright system, the art market and the music
industry. Many artist choosing the internet as their artistic tool are not
interested in protecting their results with Copyrights. The possibilities
which the web provides for them is the copying, forwarding, or even =AD as
with the Linux software =AD continue developing and changing it with other
people.

The copyleft panel wants to discuss forms of cultural economies, which are
appropriate to the needs of the artists and cultural producers in new media.
Is there a cultural economy beyond the elitist exclusivity of the visual art
market and the mainstream dictated music industry?

In the copyleft space visitors are invited to music and video performances,
which will be copylefted and freely accessible online. The digitalized
elements of the performances will be re-used by the following performers and
worked into new copyleft pieces the next night. Late at night the Basel
electronic music lable Sofa will spin some chill sounds. On Sunday copyleft
and [plug in] will offer a copyleft-future-brunch with an open discussion on
scenarios for the future, plans, hopes, requests, etc.

With mobile phones the visitors can send SMS, which will be rendered as
sound files and make an impact on the development of the copyleft works.

The events will be streamed on radio several radio stations. For current
information check: http://www.copyleft.cc events or
http://www.weallplugin.org news.

Economically, the audience can contribute to the event via telephone: by
calling 0901-101 101 an amount of CHFr. 20.- will be transfered from the
callers phone bill to copyleft. The caller can choose to become a member of
copyleft.cc or simply support the events. (Calls possible only from within
Switzerland).
