File Sharing, Information Policy, and Democratic Public Spheres
Report
Ren Bucholz★ SSRC Sponsored Research
Abstract
Ren Bucholz describes the paucity of evidence-based policymaking in the copyright and filesharing arenas, and the relative disconnect between intellectual property reform advocacy and the broader media reform movement. Filesharing-a tool for decentralized media distribution-is a point of obvious contact between the two. Other common goals such as improved metrics for legislative accountability and expanded access to knowledge offer other strategic opportunities.
