Joost Smiers and Marieke van Schijndel
Framasoft 2011

Le droit d’auteur est-il un système archaïque ? Dans cet ouvrage audacieux et polémique, Joost Smiers et Marieke van Schijndel répondent par l’affirmative et élaborent un dossier à charge contre le droit d’auteur et les mécanismes économiques qui en découlent.

En formulant l’hypothèse qu’un monde sans copyright (le droit d’auteur et autre droit de propriété intellectuelle) est possible, les auteurs explorent méthodiquement les secteurs où le protectionnisme et les conglomérats culturels créent une distorsion du marché au détriment des artistes, de la création et de la diversité culturelle. Imaginez un terrain de jeu équitable où les artistes pourraient vivre de leur art et où la créativité et les connaissances pourraient intégrer – à nouveau? – le domaine public pour être partagées… librement.
