These are excellent. I have been wanting something like this for a long time. Several comments... 1.) There is a typo in the text in the p2p politics video at :10 (Proposals for p2p *poltics*). I honor and respect the depth of everybody's thinking on these topics. At the same time, I find my role as sales person in many places and need tools that help introduce folks that I meet to p2p without throwing them into the depths of the p2pfoundation.net site. The remaining comments address this. 2.) I constantly struggle with my 'elevator pitch' about p2p. These go a long way toward resolving that. They should be posted prominently on the most public facing Internet vehicle(s). 3.) This opens the door for production of similar short punchy pieces around other topics. Here are two that I would like to see a) I would like to see are an exposure of the rental economy posing as the sharing economy and comparison of the two. b) I would also like to see a short description of the evolution of cooperatives, starting with traditional cooperatives and moving through the necessity for and evolutionary path to open cooperatives. Are these very first draft, or can I begin distributing them? In particular, Michel, I would like to begin sharing them around the Institute for Cultural Affairs.

Good morning guys

Here's the four short videos -- These are short STRONG messages and I hope they can help many get some clarity. I will also run some test-groups with them and really enquire around the language to be used.

Short intro text proposed by Michel:

The following are four short introductory videos that explain the basic ideas around peer to peer as a new system to create and distributed value, as proposed by the P2P Foundation.

Part 1 focuses on peer to peer as a specific type of relationship, in which peers create commons

Part 2 focuses on peer to peer 'politics'

Part 3 focuses on the economics of peer to peer, i.e. commons-based peer production

Part 4 presents key proposals to make peer production communities more autonomous, i.e. it presents open cooperativism and the idea of a copyfair license

The videos were realized by Michel Bauwens, Irma Wilson, and xx, during a stay in Johannessburg, South Africa in June 2015."
