The Internet allows the horizontal exchange of information and culture. Producers can share their creative work more easily but with infinitely reproducible content, it is now difficult to distinguish between originals and copies. The legal system is slow to respond and laws that were created to protect artists can actually hinder the free circulation of knowledge. Bureaucratic organisations are becoming obsolete and Civil society has to adapt by finding new ways of protecting and promoting creative production.

In this workshop with Simona Levi, co-founder of EXGAE, participants will receive legal advice for their own creative projects. They can find out about free culture production and diffusion practices or join discussions about lobbying and intervening legislation. Participants can learn about how viral campaigns are created and how to find out about other international networks that could help them in their creative practice.
