Readings This Week

A jumping off point explaining what this wiki version of the volume is all about.

Preface
Code Is Law

A couple of brief a/v bits associated with Lessig and the Creative Commons might provide an interesting basis for more discussion as well. Try this one, and this one (don't ask me to vouch for the musical choices here, please).

For Thursday, read Michel Bauwens's "The Political Economy of Peer Production"

If you find it interesting, I encourage you to dip into the much extended version
"Peer to Peer and Human Evolution."
