International coalition for civil rights of citizens and artists in the digital era

[Michel Bauwens]

A huge international coalition has come together to campaign for respect for the civil rights of citizens and artists in the digital era.

Today they will be launching internationally the "Charter for Innovation, Creativity and Access to Knowledge".

This initiative constitutes the beginning of an unprecedented offensive of civil society in defense of the fundamental rights in response to the pressure of the lobbies of the culture industry on the European Parliament and national parliaments.

A broad coalition from over 20 countries, of hundreds of thousands of citizens, users, consumers, organizations, artists, hackers, members of the free culture movement, economists, lawyers, teachers, students, researchers, scientists, activists, workers, unemployed, entrepreneurs, creators…

We invite all citizens to make this Charter theirs, share it and put it into practice.
