As that book was going to press, news of the upstart Swedish Pirate Party began hitting the media, first on tech blogs and later in the mainstream press. As news of the group propagated and its influence spread to the European Parliament, Sweden and other eurozone countries faced new and recurring threats to cyberlib- erties, further stoking the Pirates’ grievances and increasing their salience. Had the umbrella movement arrived so quickly? Pirate Politics had to be written to find out. So I spent the 2012 school year researching pirate politics and teaching and living in Sweden while writing this book. To some of my students, the Pirate Party is a joke or a prank—of casual interest, but not to be taken seriously. The party’s single issue of digital rights flouts their expectation that politics should be more broadly engaged with society’s other problems, especially the economic crisis gripping the eurozone. However, those stu- dents who are members of the Pirate Party take their member- ships very seriously. In class, our lively, well-informed debates x Preface and discussions about cyberliberties were consequential for the students, most of whom lived in Sweden, Germany, or another country with a budding pirate party. We debated pirate politics in real time in response to the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agree- ment (a new, plurilateral trade agreement serving as a Trojan horse for copyright reforms), new data-retention and surveil- lance laws, and other contemporary cyberliberties challenges. In the closing months of 2012, the Swedish Pirate Party was struggling to rekindle its initial spark, while the German Pirates risked their newfound popularity by sharing their inter- nal squabbles and disagreements publicly on online discussion boards. The mature pirate parties appear to be at risk of break- ing down, while new ones in the Czech Republic and elsewhere are in ascendancy. Popular commentators will, undoubtedly, continue to marvel that anarchistic or apolitical geeks found a political footing to begin with, and will look no further than the flash in the pan. Determining whether the Pirates are like an evanescent wave that has already decayed, or will persist in one form or another, is not the point of this book. It is also not my intention to rally supporters, defend detractors, or make predictions. Instead, I wish to explore the international contexts and contents of resis- tant forms of political and cultural agency aligned against struc- tures and processes of media and communication perceived to be toxic and unjust. Looking for, finding, and describing the per- sistent features of agency in the flux—the recurring assertions of autonomy and solidarity—are the real objectives here. Another objective is to rehabilitate prior discourses of politi- cal and social theory concerning the nature of “new politics,” especially sociological theories of social movements, and to try Preface xi them on for size once more. This goal will grate against most empirical approaches to political systems, and against game-the- oretical and neorealist perspectives on international relations. I make no special claims to expertise in those fields. But I ask for no forbearance either, and invite all appropriate critiques if they can help us better understand what we agree that we are observing. Acknowledgments I thank my colleagues and students at Karlstads Universitet Medie-Och-Kommunikationsvetenskap for providing a depart- mental home while I researched and wrote this book. Their support and kindness was invaluable. Göran Bolin, Christian Christiansen, and Miyase Christensen, Leif Dahlberg, Peter Jako- bsson, Mats Nilsson, Klas Sandell, Martin Fredriksson, Stefan Larsson, Ad van Loon, and Joep van der Veer provided essen- tial feedback and guidance for the duration of the project. Steve Bales offered excellent library support. Jonas Andersson blazed a research trail in Sweden that I tried to follow. He generously took every opportunity to offer insights and corrections to my drafts. Stephan Urbach, Marina Weisband, Julia Reda, Carsten Koschmieder, Eva Schweitzer, and Joel Schalit gave me impor- tant access to German perspectives on pirate politics. The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research, at Texas A&M University, provided support for this project. I bene- fited from early opportunities to present my ideas at the Interna- tional Communication Association—Popular Communication Division and the Global Fusion conferences, and also at the Uni- versity of San Diego Department of Communication Studies, the xiv Acknowledgments University of Montana Department of Communication Studies, Northwestern University in Qatar’s Department of Journalism and Communication, the University of Texas at Austin School of Information, Uppsala University’s Department of Informatics and Media, the Department of Aeshetics and Communication at Aarhus University, and the Department of Media and Commu- nication Studies at Södertörn University. I thank Kip Keller once more for helping me find the right words.

  • Digital Media and the Arab Spring Philip N. Howard & Muzammil M
    Digital Media and the Arab Spring Philip N. Howard & Muzammil M. Hussain Philip N. Howard is associate professor at the University of Washington. He is the author of The Digital Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Information Technology and Political Islam (2010). Muzammil M. Hussain is a doctoral student in communication at the University of Washington. As has often been noted in these pages, one world region has been practically untouched by the third wave of democratization: North Africa and the Middle East. The Arab world has lacked not only democracy, but even large popular movements pressing for it. In December 2010 and the first months of 2011, however, this situation changed with stunning speed. Massive and sustained public demonstrations demanding political reform cascaded from Tunis to Cairo, Sana’a, Amman, and Manama. This inspired people in Casablanca, Damascus, Tripoli, and dozens of other cities to take to the streets to call for change. By May, major political casualties littered the ground: Tunisia’s Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, two of the region’s oldest dictators, were gone; the Libyan regime of Muammar Qadhafi was battling an armed rebellion that had taken over half the country and attracted NATO help; and several monarchs had sacked their cabinets and committed to constitutional reforms. Governments around the region had sued for peace by promising their citizens hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending of various kinds. Morocco and Saudi Arabia appeared to be fending off serious domestic uprisings, but as of this writing in May 2011, the outcomes for regimes in Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Yemen remain far from certain.

I would first like to thank Kerri Heffernan and my Royce Fellowship cohort for supporting my initial research on the Church of Kopimism. My time in Berlin and Stockholm on behalf of the Royce made an indelible mark on my entire academic career thus far, without which this thesis would definitely not be as out-of-the-box as it is proud to be. I would also like to thank a few professors in the Religious Studies department who, whether they were aware of it or not, encouraged my confidence in this area of study and shaped how I approached the religious communities this project concerns. Specifically, thank you to Prof. Denzey-Lewis, who taught my first religious studies course at Brown and graciously sponsored my Royce research amidst her own travels. Also, infinite thanks and blessings to Fannie Bialek, who so deftly modeled all that is good in this discipline, and all that is most noble in the often confusing, frustrating, and stressful task of teaching “hard” topics.

From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

What this Article terms “the Access Movements” are, by now, well- known communities devoted to providing more access to intellectual-property-protected goods, communities such as the Open Source Initiative and Access to Knowledge. This Article engages Movement actors in their critique of the balance struck by recent law (statutes and cases) and asks whether new laws that further restrict access to intellectual property “promote the progress of science and the useful arts.” Relying on cases, statutes and recent policy debates, this Article contrasts the language of traditional intellectual-property law (origins and exclusivity) with the new language of the Access Movements (antiorigins and † Associate Professor of Law, Suffolk University Law School.

Title. KF2994.B45 2014 346.7304’82--dc23 2014005816 COPYRIGHT NOTE Not long ago, in “Five Reforms for Copyright” (chapter 7 of Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess, published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in 2012), I suggested that the United States should return to the kind of copyright the Founders supported: the one they created in their 1790 Copyright Act. The Founders’ copyright had a term of only fourteen years with the option to renew for another fourteen. It conditioned copyright on the satisfaction of strict statutory formali- ties and covered only maps, charts, and books. The Founders’ copyright protected only against unauthorized reproductions and offered only com- paratively limited remedies. This book follows through on that policy advice. The Mercatus Center and I agreed to publish it under terms chosen to recreate the legal effect of the Founders’ 1790 Copyright Act. For example, the book’s copy- right will expire in 2042 (if not before), and you should feel free to make a movie or other derivative work at any time.
