We study the impact of Peer to Peer technology and thought on society.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete" - Buckminster Fuller [1]


never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. - Margaret Mead [2]

The richest collection of free modes available anywhere in the net and on the planet. - Franz Nahrada

P2P in a Nutshell

an easy way to discover the ideas of the P2P Foundation, compiled by Mauro Bieg. 		SphereOfNetworks.png


Our aims

We function as a clearinghouse for open/free, participatory/p2p and commons-oriented initiatives.

We aim to be a pluralist network to document, research, and promote peer to peer alternatives. Our political aims could be summarized under the following maxims:

  1. ending the destruction of the biosphere by abandoning the dangerous conceptions of pseudo-abundance in the natural world (i.e. based on the assumption that natural resources are infinite);
  2. promoting free cultural exchange by abandoning the innovation-inhibiting conceptions of pseudo-scarcity in the cultural world (i.e. based on the assumption that the free flow of culture needs to be restricted through excessive copyrights etc...).
