Deptford.TV and the ethos of sharing

UPDATE (31/1 2007) :
My article sparked a whole thread over at Rasmus Fleischer’s eminent Copyriot blog. Read his reply to the article, and my reply to his reply... (and please leave some replies yourself if you want to — start by reading the pdf below!)

ORIGINAL POSTING (15/1 2007) :
Our new book is finally published!
Deptford.TV diaries combines wider analyses of digitization and liberated media practices with geographically specific reflections on the current regeneration process of Deptford (south-east London) — a process which is currently documented by the innovative, collaborative Deptford.TV film-making project.
As the blurb reads:

Deptford.TV is an audio-visual documentation of the regeneration process of Deptford in collaboration with SPC.org media lab, Bitnik.org, Boundless.coop, Liquid Culture and Goldsmiths College. Since September 2005 we have assembled AV material around the area, asking community members, video artists, film-makers, visual artists and students to contribute statements, feedback and critique of this regeneration process. The unedited as well as edited media content is being made available on the Deptford.TV database and distributed over the Boundless.coop wireless network. The media is licensed through open content licenses such as Creative Commons and the GNU general public license. This book is a compilation of theoretical underpinnings, interviews and written documentation of the project. Contributors: Adnan Hadzi, Maria X, Heidi Seetzen, James Stevens, Erol Ziya, Bitnik media collective, Andrea Pozzi, Andrea Rota and Jonas Andersson, alongside selected public-license texts from Hakim Bey, Jaromil and Guy Debord.

Here is an exclusive excerpt: Jonas Andersson’s critical analysis of the cultural significance of The Pirate Bay — ultimately a response to Rasmus Fleischer’s and Palle Torsson’s Grey Commons speech.
