Sur la base de ses propres expériences dans l’Empire du Milieu, l’artiste zurichois nous raconte une histoire qui rappelle les diverses façons dont peuvent être vécues les frontières : celles, concrètes, que tracent une terre et une culture étrangères impliquant un ici et un ailleurs, mais aussi les autres, plus subtiles, séparant voir et être vu, image et texte, légalité et illégalité, humour et sérieux. Ce récit en images introduit ainsi une perspective supplémentaire dans ce dossier, une autre réflexion sur les frontières, sur la possibilité de les déplacer et sur leurs répercussions. 2 – 31 DOSSIER 32 HEURE LOCALE New Delhi : Le temps et le fleuve Hors limites Trois artistes suisses ont proposé un regard neuf à la Biennale de Matthias Gnehm a réalisé, tout exprès pour Passages, les illustrations qui Kochi-Muziris. accompagnent ce dossier.

SOMMAIRE 6 Où plaçons-nous nos frontières ? Impossible d’échapper aux frontières, qu’on vienne de les dissoudre, qu’on les renforce ou qu’on les redessine. Mais de quelles frontières parlons-nous en fait ? Des frontières nationales qui, hautes parfois de plusieurs mètres, cisaillent un paysage ou qui, à l’instar de celles dans l’espace européen, peuvent se franchir sans qu’on s’en aperçoive ? Des limites de la croissance économique ou des limites de ce qui est pensable et faisable ? Dans son article pour Passages, le critique de théâtre Alexandre Demidoff mentionne, par exemple, l’abolition de plus en plus fréquente de la ligne invisible séparant la scène et l’espace des spectateurs. Le sociologue Richard Sennett plaide pour une plus grande perméabilité des frontières internes de la ville tandis qu’à la suite d’un test sur l’incroyable simulateur de vol Birdly, le journaliste John Gaudiosi, spécialiste des jeux vidéo, imagine que l’avenir du cinéma pourrait bien se trouver dans la technologie des jeux. Enfin, dans son essai, le critique d’art Laurent Wolf évoque les conflits suscités par l’opposition de l’art aux normes courantes et à l’ordre établi et se demande où placer les limites du tolérable. Dans les activités de la Fondation suisse pour la culture aussi, les frontières occupent une place importante. Ainsi Pro Helvetia contribue au franchissement des frontières linguis- tiques en accordant des subsides de traduction et en favorisant les échanges à l’intérieur du pays. La Fondation motive également les domaines de la culture numérique et du design à investir de nouveaux territoires. Quant à son encouragement interdisciplinaire, il associe les secteurs et les disciplines. Et bien entendu, conformément à sa mission, elle fait connaître l’art et la culture de Suisse dans le monde entier et s’engage en faveur d’échanges culturels transnationaux. En vérité, le champ thématique choisi par Passages pour ce numéro est sans limites. Que les quelques sujets ici mis en lumière puissent inspirer de nouvelles conversations et discussions !

  • The Case of Recorded Music
    The Heterogenous Effects of Copying: The Case of Recorded Music David Blackburn∗ First Draft: April, 2004 This Draft: June 1, 2006 Abstract The availability of copies to consumers has competing effects on sales that are heterogenous across producers. First, there is a direct substitution effect on sales as copies replace originals and second, there is a penetration effect which increases sales, as the spread of the good makes it more well-known through the population. The first effect is strongest for ex ante well-known producers, while the second dominates for ex ante unknown producers. This phenomenon is examined within the recorded music industry and evidence shows that file sharing has had a strong distributional impact on sales. However, the dominance of sales by well-known artists leads to a large negative of copying at the industry level. ∗National Economic Research Associates, [email protected]. A previous version of this paper was circulated under the title: "On-line Piracy and Recorded Music Sales." This version of the paper is a revision of the first chapter of my 2005 Harvard University PhD dissertation. I would like to thank Mariana Colacelli, Jan De Loecker, David Evans, Kate Ho, Joy Ishii, Larry Katz, Bryce Ward, and participants at the Harvard IO Workshop and the 2004 International Industrial Organization Conference for helpful suggestions. Special thanks to Gary Chamberlain, Julie Mortimer, and Ariel Pakes for their advice and encouragement.

  • Peer to Peer Networks in Oecd Countries
    OECD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OUTLOOK 2004 PEER TO PEER NETWORKS IN OECD COUNTRIES Pre-release of Section from Chapter 5 of the Information Technology Outlook The full report is to be released in October 2004 Contact: [email protected] 1 Chapter 5 OECD Information Technology Outlook 2004 Section on Peer-to-Peer Networks Peer-to-peer digital delivery Though still relatively new, the P2P file-sharing marketplace is evolving rapidly. It may be one of the most important factors in changing how digital delivery is done. Together with new compression technologies and formats like MP3 and more widely shared and faster broadband access, this technology has also greatly influenced how traditional entertainment industries operate. Moreover, specific challenges for copyright protection are raised. This section of the Chapter 5 of the Information Technology Outlook 2004 focuses on measuring the use of P2P networks for the non-commercial downloading of music, video and software files in OECD countries. Free downloading of music, films, or other files does not generate revenues for copyright holders (artists, music, publishers) and may negatively impact the development of new legitimate services delivering music, movies, etc. to customers. Some argue that downloading supplements regular purchases of music or serves as way to sample new music (Pew, 2003). However, the recording industry has also warned that free downloading poses a severe threat to the music industry in terms of diminishing sales. 1 There are currently a significant number of lawsuits in OECD countries to prevent infringement of copyright when P2P networks are used to share commercial music and films. This section analyses the current impact of this new technology for digital delivery as a way to shed light on the potential for the commercial use of P2P technologies and policy issues.

  • Public Domain As Default
    Public Domain as Default Preliminary Draft – Please Do Not Cite or Quote Let the Public Speak: Public Domain As Default Miriam Bitton* Abstract The introduction of digital technologies has significantly challenged intellectual property law systems. One of the most troubling phenomena is the attack on the public domain (PD). The PD has been traditionally perceived as a major foundation for further creation and development and thus, as something that should be preserved and enlarged. Unfortunately, the introduction of information technologies changed this reality to such an extent that fewer works now become part of the PD. This article introduces a new approach for handling the problem of the PD, suggesting some innovative methods that would facilitate the effective dedication of materials to the PD as well as some alternative methods for enriching it. In particular, this Article will demonstrate the advantages of the suggested solutions by examining, inter alia, open access and creative commons licenses. This article argues that our default rules concerning copyright law should be changed in a way that corresponds to social norms, which are reflected in sharing, as well as resistance to copyright law as reflected in extensive infringement of copyrighted materials. I propose switching to a regime under which expressive materials are not protectable unless protection is affirmatively claimed.Additionally, I argue that a model of gradual dedication to the PD should be adopted to better reflect emerging social norms and practices. The default rule should be one under which the copyright laws will provide a menu of choices, which better reflect the tension between the public and copyright owners as well as their respective interests.
