This Sunday, May 8th, Central Hotel, Dublin (afternoon and evening events)* *An Introduction to peer-to-peer* Wikipedia and Linux are impressive examples of intellectual labour created on and through the internet but they don't fit conventional economic theory as the people who developed and refined them did not charge for their work and there is no charge for their use. No corporation organised their creation and claimed ownership rights. Are these examples of a new type of economy which has a lot further to go? Will open source product design underpin a new type of creative economy in which some things will be available in abundance mostly for free? Are we witnessing the birth of a digital commons where intellectual property rights like copyright and patents are standing in the way of human progress? Theorist Michel Bauwens and the P2P foundation believes so. In his view we are entering an economic era as profoundly different as feudalism was from the Roman Empire, and industrial capitalism was from feudalism. But is the future he envisa ges compati ble with the ecological limits that humanity is encountering in almost every field? *14.00 – 17.00 Workshop on peer-to-peer with Michel Bauwens.* Attendance will be limited to 15.
