"Neen" art collective creates new "anti-copyright," "anti-IP" logo

Person of the Month for March 2003, are Rafael Rozendaal and John White C.

The most important social quest of the past century was Freedom and no other symbol has capture better the urgency of that question than the Anarchy Symbol.

The major social issue of our days, is the question of the Intellectual Property and Copyright: In a world that property and content is becoming increasingly easy to copy, shall we obey to the the old laws that will stop this illuminate re-distribution or shall we be free to copy After all, if information has any value, its because it is either a snapshot of our feelings, (songs and music), or a demo of what can become visible, (visual arts, movies etc) or a speculation on what is possible, (science) or the development of a language, (computer code), or a combination of ideas that can occur to anybody at any time ( books).

In order to bring this discussion to the multitude, Rafael Rozendaal, designed after my request, and after a suggestion by John White C. a very simple and direct logo against copyright and IP. Let's write it on all walls!
