Introduction
Marco Berlinguer:
"The free culture movements comprise a wide range of experiences mainly emerging around the internet and the digital revolution. They have generally developed independently, but they are loosely aligned and show a mutually reinforcing dynamism – a ‘viral spiral’, as David Bollier terms it.
All these movements emerged as practical and cultural critiques of the aggressive attempts by corporations, aided by Northern governments, to extend intellectual property rights to knowledge, culture, information, communication and even organisms and data. The process has been described as ‘the second enclosures movement’ – the first being the enclosing of common land and turning it into private property in late and post-medieval England.
Following Felix Stalder, we can group these movements into three different clusters:
- the Free Software Movement, focusing on software source code;
- the Free Culture Movement, focusing on cultural goods; and
- the Access To Knowledge (A2K) movement, focusing on access to knowledge-intensive goods."
- Benjamin Mako Hill explains the Difference between the Free Software and Free Culture Movement

CitationsOn P2P dialogue across the political spectrum"If anything, the Internet has allowed various decentralist traditions to cross-pollinate and reach a mainstream audience to a far larger extent than could have been imagined in the mid-90s. There are many online venues where mutualists, agrarians, distributists, Georgists, social crediters, Catholic Workers, Rothbardians and Greens compare their views, amiably for the most part, and find out how much they have in common." - Thomas Woods [2]

Commons for Labor and the Working ClassJem Bendell's Strategy for a Deep Adaptationist Commons Transition1. We can’t prepare for collapse within the system that’s causing it. We must lay the foundations of a new system. 2. We’ll need to produce and distribute food and other essentials, and maintain houses, energy and water infrastructure outside of the corporate system 3. Modern social and environmental movements in the UK (and beyond) have failed to engage working-class communities. 4. The commons can lay the foundations of a new system, while providing the essentials in working-class communities. Description The 'Open' ParadigmKey Movements supporting the Open paradigm
