It is strongly recommended that you include your outline in the body of your essay by using the outline as section titles. The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted. | | | Our triumph, therefore, cannot be one of storming a single Capitol. Indeed, the victory prophesied in “Anarchism Triumphant” is well on its way to fruition on its own terms. Yet the spirit of copyleft, of open collaboration and mutuality in the cybersphere, remains precarious and remote in this new context. It is in this spirit we must channel the creativity and courage of those who came before us, Stallman, Torvalds, Moglen, and others, who would dare rethink our relationship to the tools that connect us. To move on the works of the gatekeepers of the digital superhighways will require an audacious thinking that encourages, even mandates, freedom of information, freedom to tinker, and equality of access. This means reforging the copyleft sword to incorporate derivative works built on copylefted programs, to fragment the information monopolies by securing user stewardship of user data (ie. "right to be forgotten"), and to educate and organize communities maintaining their own digital free-cosystems. Perhaps it is too late for a movement like this to take root in this country just yet, but networked societies in India, Nigeria, and beyond may vanguard a new paradigm of connectivity, and reform the world along the way. | |

Though like Maharbal and Moglen we may at times be too zealous too soon, our Rome is destined to decline and certainly fall under the weight of its internal contradictions. This time, I will not hesitate to be on hand with our terms. | >

You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable. |
