Visitors to the Salon will be able to read free and public domain books and download them to CD-ROM. In addition, there will be conferences and panel discussions on freedom of information in an age of media concentration and commoditized culture. A collection of theoretical and analytical works revolving around the issue of Intellectual Property regimes will be published for the occasion, as well as a collection of original artwork. Entrance and all activities are free of charge.

WHO ARE COGITATEURS AGITATEURS?

Cogitateurs Agitateurs is a group of concerned individuals working together for the creation and advancement of free culture and information networks. Based in Montreal, the Cogitateurs Agitateurs organize through a wiki Web site to coordinate activities and actions (such as the anti-SUV campaign and Turn-Off the TV week). Their collected works are available on the Web site free of charge. Finally, they organize "cogitariums," meetings and discussions open to all. Driven by a concern for freedom and equality for all creators and information users, the Cogitateurs Agitateurs aim to facilitate the production and diffusion of culture outside the dominant market economy.
