Platform for Privacy Preferences
The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P), developed by the World Wide Web Consortium, is emerging as an industry standard providing a simple, automated way for users to gain more control over the use of personal information on Web sites they visit. At its most basic level, P3P is a standardized set of multiple-choice questions, covering all the major aspects of a Web site's privacy policies.

Heise Online: Mit DRM direkt in den Zensurstaat
"Die Frage der Information wird eine Frage des Budgets". Die Regierenden würden sich aller Handlungsoptionen berauben, wenn sie der Industrie dank der Sanktionierung technischer Kopierschutzmethoden die Steuerung der zukünftigen Wissensversorgung überließen. Forscher und Bibliothekare sehen Kostenlawinen auf ihre Institute zukommen - mit schlimmen Folgen für die Allgemeinheit.

Interview with Annie - imc_uk “Digital Political Activism”

Constructing the Digital Commons. A venture into hybridisation
A text by Eric Kluitenberg published on n5m4.org: Democracy can be understood in two notably distinct ways. In the institutional view democracy is understood as the interplay of institutional actors that represent 'the people' and are held accountable through the plebiscite; public votes, polls and occasionally referenda. The second view on democracy is radically different in that it understands the extent to which people can freely assemble, discuss and share ideas about vital social issues, organise themselves around these issues, and can freely voice their opinions in public fora, as a measure for just how democratic a given society is.

Culture and Technologies of Control
Konrad Becker's introduction to the cultural intelligence manual "Tactical Reality Dictionary."

Fred von Lohmann "Digital Rights Management: The Skeptics' View"
A wide variety of technologies travel under the banner of "digital rights management" (DRM). In appropriate circumstances, these technologies can solve real problems for users, technology vendors, and content owners. Some, however, have made more ambitious claims for DRM, suggesting that these technologies represent the best hope for the entertainment industries as they struggle to evolve in a networked economy.


Internet und Recht
Je nach Art des Providers differiert auch der Haftungsumfang. Während den Access-Provider als reinen "Transporteur" der Information keine Haftung trifft, haften Service- und Content-Provider eingeschränkt für fremde und voll für eigene Inhalte. Die Grenze verläuft bei der Zumutbarkeit der Kontrolle.

The Copyright Site
This site is dedicated to helping educators everywhere in the United States understand the issue of copyright. As an educator, there are three main issues you need to understand. They are: the Public Domain, Fair Use, and Intellectual Property. We have tried to make them as simple as possible, and have included more complex definitions and explanations in more detailed legal-like form if you would like to do more research.

The Politics of Code
The Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy, and the Oxford Internet Institute convened the conference "Politics of Code" to identify the critical choices that will need to be made in the coming months about the Internet's architecture that will shape the Internet for years to come.
