The knowledge economy is sharing

He who receives an idea from me receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine receives light without darkening me.
Thomas Jefferson

Copyleft Festival 2008

txt: Perché un festival del copyleft – Copyleft Festival 2008

La sequenza più logica sarebbe: l’opera circola gratis, il gradimento si trasforma in passaparola, ne traggono beneficio la celebrità e la reputazione dell’autore, quindi aumenta il suo spazio di manovra all’interno dell’industria culturale e non solo. E’ un circolo virtuoso.
[en] The most logical sequence would be: the work circulates for free, his approval spread as word of mouth, it will benefit the fame and reputation of the author, and then increase its influence within the cultural industry and beyond. It’s a virtuous circle.

Oddtag goes (almost) offline this summer, until Summer Bank Holiday (more or less). No travelling but hard work, sweat and sun. Have a look on the Venetian Writings (in italian), be good, have fun.
