ABSTRACT

Lawrence Lessig claims that the first instinct when battling infringement of copyright on a large scale has been to wage the so-called "copyright war" against infringement and infringers. Lessig therefore argues that the only way to understand and approach access to and sharing of art is to find the right mix between what he calls law, norms, market and architecture. Law, art, commons, have through this process, become quite literally body-machines, entangled with the human body, nature, its entire so called context. In the collection of essays "Authoritarian Personality" Adorno and Horkheimer assembled texts tracing the becoming of a potentially fascistic individual and in that process, they claimed, the administrated culture that has become commodified plays a pivotal role. To bring together, on a very final note, is the merger of pop culture, politics, struggle and law. The fetishised idea of the artwork as something unique, special, sublime, can no longer be upheld.
