    Stealing Empire: P2P, intellectual property and hip-hop subversion
    (2010) Haupt, Adam
    Stealing Empire poses the question, ""What possibilities for agency exist in the age of corporate globalisation?"" Using the work of Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt as a point of entry, Adam Haupt delves into varied terrain to locate answers in this ground-breaking inquiry. He explores arguments about copyright via peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms such as Napster, free speech struggles, debates about access to information and open content licenses, and develops a politically incisive analysis of counter discourses produced by South African hip-hop artists. Stealing Empire is vital reading for law, media and cultural studies scholars who want to make sense of the ways in which legal and communication strategies are employed to secure hegemony.

    Understanding Open Licensing: Day Three - Progressing Towards Openness
    (2014-11-04) Shaikh, Shihaam
    Open access publishing is rapidly growing in popularity, while materials for re-use in education and training are increasingly being sourced free from the web. This workshop will equip participants to use open licensing with confidence when they make knowledge available on the Internet, and to understand the key issues for reusing open licensed materials published by others. It will provide a simple “how-to” guide to the Creative Commons licensing framework, the international standard which sets out allowable uses of knowledge published free on the web. Participants will learn how to publish using open licences, what to consider when re-using open licensed materials, and how to advise other knowledge producers.This workshop was hosted by the Mobilising Knowledge for Development Programme (The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) UK).
