Mission

It is a public education organization that was created to support the principle of public freedom and open exchange on the internet. Our work supports the basic resources that make an open, engaging, competitive, dynamic public space, discourse, economy and culture possible. We work to educate and create new public discourse about copyright and the threat the growing copyright industry is to public goods, the economy, and the public sphere. We work against new cultural attempts to distort the open, neutral internet. Our public information campaigns help to explain new public behaviors in the age of a quickly developing internet and explain new technologies. We believe in maintaining and cultivating creative innovation, internet freedom, level playing fields in the worlds of business and ideas, openness, transparency, lack of censorship, anti-corruption, public goods and values, and community self-reliance.
