Politics of Free Culture started from a clear consensus on the panel, that the current intellectual property regime had been outdated for quite some time and was now a severe blockage to cultural production and access, and that substantial changes had become inevitable. The panelists brought in a broad range of perspectives: from political activism to media politics and cultural policy, and to perspectives mainly focusing on economic and juridical concerns.
