Sumario:The present text published in the REMIX Zone of the Communiars Journal corresponds to the introduction of the famous book Free Culture, by Professor Lawrence Lessig, president of the Creative Commons organization, dedicated to promoting cultural access and exchange. The text “Free Culture. How big media uses technology and the law to lock down culture and control creativity” is a book published in 2004 and focused on presenting another way of organizing culture and knowledge, opening the restrictions of the obsolete paradigm of copyright, and relying on the copyleft model promoted by free software. The introduction presented here translates the open spirit of a key text for the understanding and evolution of current cultural reality.
