Free Software Principles for Artists

Policy Recommendations by Rob Myers:

"* Artists should campaigning to oppose the extension of copyright and trademark law and the reduction of fair use.

• Artists should use copyleft licensing to ensure the free circulation of ideas.

• Artists who are interested to do so can investigate the use of collaborative project management.

• Artists who are interested to do so should produce work to show the value of fair use and the public domain.

• Artists who are interested to do so should challenge copyright maximalists and censors by using mass media imagery and transgressive

imagery.

• Artists should use Free Software and free (or open) file formats for accessibility, and help drive improvement of them."
