Arts and Culture on a Public Good Internet

We don't yet have a coherent way to frame this discussion, so - lacking this - let's start with an incoherent set.

• Is culture a public good?
• What does it mean when cultural artifacts cost nothing to copy?
• Is remixing art?
• How does mega-publishing of content change the idea of derivative works?
• Does the Net mean that we will all return to being active co-creators of culture?
• How does a culture change when a majority of its participants gain access to broadcast media?
• When does 'noise' on the Net enhance meaning?

Lewis - can you add in your thoughts. I like your angle on disruptive culture and the role of the trickster.
