From the Free Floating Faculty:
PIRACY!
Under the theme PIRACY! We will discuss filesharing as a form of knowledge exchange and production. We will discuss the term piracy, not as in taking to claim, but as in taking to share and distribute as talk about pirate media on the basis of the historical example of the pirate radio Radio Mercur. We also invite the activist network Piratgruppen to talk about their work and their fights with an out-datet legislation and to take part in a discussion on filesharing as a democratic tool.
We will screen the movies Skibet er ladet Med…, a Danish comedy from the 1950ties about a pirate radio station assembling Radio Mercur, as well as the classic Captain Blood, starring Errol Flynn.
We are working on producing PIRADIO at the Free Floating Faculty in Christianshavn.
For this workshop we will also use the venue Stubnitz.
