I'm publishing a draft of something I've scribbled into on and off for the past couple of months, here's the abstract:

Greens have started to mobilise with the increasingly confident Free Culture and Free Software movements in the face of copyright maximalists. This short paper establishes a vision of cultural policy that asks how we can defend, create and enlarge spaces where cultural activities can unfold freely. It then walks the reader through a critique of copyright; first it argues that copyright is a civil rather than a natural property right, so it should be shaped to serve the aims of cultural policy rather than inalienable rights; and second that it conflicts with this paper's vision of cultural policy in various ways. Finally it suggests a few brief strategies for Greens to advance cultural policy through active politics.

I'd be interested to get any feedback.

In other news, I've come third in this year's top green blogs list, which is almost as cool as the mobile clubbing happening I danced in at the Tate Modern last Friday :)
