Listen to the archive from the radio broadcast from 02.27.02:
WBAI 99.5 FM NYC, Bill Weinberg host,with John Perry Barlow, Paul Garrin, Cristine Wang discuss the issues of

Media Democracy vs. Corporate Fascism

How can we bring an end to corporate and government domination of media and access? What can we do to create a democratic and sustainable space in a privately owned media infrastructure?

Who are the corporations and state agencies that own, control, surveil, the media infrastructure and set the rules that govern it? What are the barriers to entry for creating a publicly managed media space? How can these barriers be overcome to create a fair and democratic digital commons?

Who is ICANN? Are they the 'WTO of the Internet'? How do they threaten individual freedoms in cyberspace? Who has the real authority over the Internet and how did they get it? How can we define public space in a privately owned physical world?

Listen to a dialogue about these issues and more with cyberspace pioneer John Perry Barlow, founder of Name.Space and Free.The.Media! Paul Garrin, co-founder of FREE.THE.MEDIA!, Cristine Wang, and the Information Liberation Front on WBAI 99.5 FM NY.
