Abstract:
The future of the digital revolution is being disputed. On one side are the ones who fight for the freedom of the knowledge, proposing free circulation of information through the Internet; on the other side are the powerful economical and political interests, trying to block the socialization of the knowledge and to make the Internet yet another ground for capital acumulation and reprodution of the inequalities.
