Stories of Grassroots Campaigning for Access to Knowledge in the Networked Digital Age
Commissioned by the Information Program from the former executive director of OSI grantee the Open Rights Group, this report represents a comprehensive survey of techniques employed in recent access to knowledge (A2K) activism that have succeeded in taking intellectual property (IP) reform issues to a wide audience.
The goal of this report is to identify and interrogate these pockets of activism, and to draw lessons from them in the hope that these lessons spread across the broadening global network of IP reform activists, ensuring a strong, sustainable and ultimately successful global movement for IP reform well into the future.
