A Virtual World is Possible: From Tactical Media to Digital Multitudes
Non Stop Future, Dark Markets
The presentation starts with the current strategy debates of the so-called "anti-globalisation movement", the biggest emerging political force for decades. In Part II Lovink and Schneider discuss strategies of critical new media culture in the post-speculative phase after dotcommania. Four phases of the global movement are becoming visible, all of which have distinct political, artistic and aesthetic qualities: (a) The 90s and tactical media activism (b) 99-01: The period of big mobilizations (c) Confusion and resignation after 9/11 (d) Present challenge: liquidate the regressive third period of marginal moral protest

At the final stage of the anti-globalization movement Berardi Bifo Franco both analyzes the dynamics of class forces in the last decades and the "movement". He predicts other, less ethically inspired fights in an inevitable struggle against Bush & Berlusconi´s National Liberalism that in his opinion produces ignorance and depression.

Torrents of Desire and the Shape of the Informational Landscape
Non Stop Future
Despite very considerable resistance by the established cultural industries, whose business model is predicated on the scarcity of cultural goods, an environment is beginning to emerge where such goods, in their digital form, are abundant. One of the key social technologies of this abundance is peer-to-peer file sharing. Many of the goods on these networks have become abundant in clear disrespect of existing copyright restrictions, placing the providers outside the (commercial) mainstream. Thus, financial profit cannot be regarded as the main driver of this development, even if it is part of it. At the same time, a coherent political or social program cannot be detected either. Thus, file-sharing cannot be thought of as political movement or as part of civil society. What, then, pushing forward this development? The article argues for that file sharing reveals, in its rawest form, one of the fundamental forces generating the emergence of abundance: The desire as will-to-existence, which, in an informational environment, requires producing communication (rather than just receiving it).

Myths about Copyright
Non Stop Future, World-Information City Bangalore, World-Information.Org
The task of this paper has been to examine the various myths that sustain copyright. This is just the beginning of the process of questioning the assumptions on which copyright is based. If we are to seriously engage with the totalising logic of copyright, two tasks lie ahead. Firstly, we will need to continue to chip away at the foundational logic of copyright, exposing the shaky grounds on which it makes its universal claims. Secondly, we need to actively examine alternative models through which we can understand the production and dissemination of knowledge and culture.

The close of his book makes clear, however, that what should be sought is not a simple escape into chaos. The point is to find articulations of human effort that can oppose and even durably replace the death-dealing powers of the present society. Right now, the prospects look extremely slim for any kind of grassroots intervention into a highly polarized conjuncture. But if things become desperately worse, or if on the contrary the political-economic pendulum makes one of its swings back to a more confident phase of expansion, the likelihood is that there will be important second chances for radical democracy movements, and new roles for improvised global media. The future belongs to those who can make the experimental difference.
