On the Justifications of Piracy: Differences in Conceptualization and Argumentation Between Active Uploaders and other file-sharers
- 2014
-
In: Piracy: Leakages from Modernity. - 9781936117598 ; , s. 217-239
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter is, in part, about law and legal change. Law – especially intellectual property law – is greatly challenged in a digital society where media is distributed in global networks, for example via BitTorrent sites such as The Pirate Bay. New norms for behavior set up under new pre-conditions in an online environment have emerged alongside the legal, emphasizing some sort of norm-pluralism way beyond any traditional discourse on deviancy. In April 2011 the Cybernorms research group conducted a global file-sharing survey with more than 75,000 respondents – the Research Bay study (Svensson et al., 2013). This chapter analyses the data from the open answers of this survey. Using this data and the establishing theoretical framework, we exemplify metaphors, conceptions, and the modes of justification that different conceptions of file-sharing reinforce and present a model for approaching piracy more systematically than in much of the contemporary literature. When applying metaphors, this influences the ways in which one conceptualizes a given phenomenon. The ways in which one conceptualizes reality are tightly connected to what norms that control our behavior and how we reflect and justify our actions. For example, the market optimism among the non-uploaders in this study, displaying the notion of how the market can adapt and/or expand, describes the strength in how media distribution and culture dissemination is still conceptualized in terms of market metaphors, as opposed to early attempts in the scholarly literature to speak of ‘gift-economies’ and ‘cyber-communism’ (Barbrook, 2000). The non-uploaders (representing the majority of Pirate Bay users) are – when compared to the smaller, more dedicated group of active uploaders – more positive towards market solutions and the entertainment industry, and they are more disposed towards a non-specific, generic belief in the progress, evolution, and eventual convergence and assimilation of technology. Since the notion of online piracy as a mainly illegal activity is a predominant perspective in the replies in the survey, the analysis of its justifications is highly relevant for the broader understanding of law and legal development, as a process, in an increasingly digitized society.

Learning Places : a Case Study of Collaborative Pedagogy Using Online Virtual Worlds
- 2011
-
In: Multi-User Virtual Environments for the Classroom. - Hershey : IGI Global. - 9781609605452 - 1609605454 ; , s. 31-46
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The chapter, based on a set of developed teaching scenarios, discusses how virtual worlds, in particular Second Life, can be used in student centered pedagogy; intertwining theory and practice, emphasizing process-thinking, critical perspectives, and strengthen the confidence and independence of the student. Drawing upon experiences from traditional education, Web 2.0-tools, and problem based pedagogy grounded in project work, social media, engineering, and digital humanities, this chapter presents a pedagogy based upon the concepts of participatory culture, and co-creation on the part of students in the learning process. The authors have been involved in developing the core curriculum for a term-long (four month) course for Museum Studies. A problem based, student centered pedagogy is both integrated and contrasted with traditional classroom settings, that are also part of the planning, implementation, and assessment stages of the course. Based upon the practical experience of conducting this course, the article critically discusses ICT and problem oriented learning on a general level – including the benefits and disadvantages for the student and for the teachers. How this approach to learning, from the experiences in virtual worlds, can fit in to the established structure of learning goals, lectures, examination, and assessment is questioned in the chapter, based on the experiences gathered from teaching the course.

Spacing Creation: The HUMlab Second Life Project
- 2009
-
In: Learning and Teaching in the Virtual World of Second Life. - Trondheim : Tapir Academic Press. - 9788251923538 ; , s. 167-183
-
Book chapter (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- This chapter is both a summary and a glimpse of the future regarding the twelve months of activity in Second Life by the digital humanities lab and studio HUMlab at Umeå University. Art and cooperation have been the emphasis in the early stages of the HUMlab Second Life project. In the few months prior to the authoring of this chapter things began to move quite rapidly for HUMlab in Second Life with numerous projects emerging in relation to the large HUMlab Island. Through a constructivist pedagogical model, and lots of trial and error many lessons have been learnt by all involved. Some of the more interesting learning experiences are related in this chapter.
