great report, Johan. it's not that surprising that this year's theme on ars electronica was intellectual property, actually, i find it very pertinent for the years and arts to come.

i must say that Elizabeth Stark that you mentioned is not the same as the author of that blog [elizabethstark.com]. as i started reading i was thinking "is she a writer too?" and "but.. children?" and then i realised they just happen to have the same name. haha. as far as i know, elizabeth here is the one behind freeculture.org, which makes a lot more sense ;)
