Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

No, you should just get a shoebox full of microfilm. Or maybe you could just download some files, since we have this insane shit now called computers, where completely electronic documents are stored in virtual folders.

And these things (computers) are mental. You don't even have to read a few thousand pages anymore to find out whether some name is contained in the text. Just press Ctrl+F and it'll "read" thousands of pages and highligt every occurrence. Within a split second! That used to be multiple days of work for some cheap law trainee.

Soon we won’t, as the wealth defense industry has advised ordinary citizens be stripped of the power of personal computing.
