Nancy Kranich on the Information Commons

Bill Resnick talks with librarian and information activist Nancy Kranich about problems of information access, privacy, and freedom—the digital divide; questions of cost, speed, and content restrictions; the cost of databases; conflicts over SOPA and PIPA; private and government surveillance of how we interact with our digital devices; copyright and creative commons; different perspectives held by librarians, publishers, government, and the general public; the importance of equal access to and control of information for democracy; and the shape of organizing around these issues.
