darknet 


An experiment in group editing

What: Darknet : Remixing the Future of Movies, Music and Television is an upcoming book from John Wiley & Sons. It focuses on the digital media revolution, exploring the idea that digital technologies are empowering people to create, reuse and reinvent media.


Who: The author, J.D. Lasica, is a veteran journalist who writes frequently about the impact of emerging technologies on our culture. He has written for The Washington Post, Salon, The Industry Standard and other publications. J.D. also served as an executive and manager at three tech startups. He is senior editor of the Online Journalism Review and keeps a weblog at New Media Musings.


Cast of characters: Among those interviewed for the book: Jack Valenti, Cary Sherman, Larry Lessig, John Perry Barlow, John Gilmore, Roger McGuinn, Jaron Lanier, Mike Ramsay, John S. Hendricks, Stewart Alsop, Ian Clarke, Jim Griffin, Gigi Sohn, Joe Kraus, Henry Jenkins, Mike Godwin, Benjamin Feingold, Joe Lambert, Warren Lieberfarb, Fred von Lohmann, Cory Doctorow, Ashley Highfield, Jordan Greenhall, Andy Setos, Clay Shirky, Ed Felten, Les Vadasz, Jordan Pollock, Jonathan Zittrain, Dennis Mudd, Peter Jaszi, Miriam Nisbet, James Burger, and several pirates, DJs, and DMCA violators.


Goal: In the spirit of open media and participatory journalism, I'd like to use this wiki to publish drafts of each chapter in the book. I hope you'll participate in this effort by contributing feedback, edits, criticism, corrections, and additional anecdotes, either through the comments field below or by sending me email. Feel free to be as detailed as you like or to insert comments or questions. After all, you're the editor. (And remember, this is for a book manuscript, not a finished online document.) If you make a couple of helpful edits, I'll mention your name in the book's Acknowledgments (and buy you a drink next time we meet up).


Request: This is an experiment in trust. Feel free to dive in and make all the changes you think are warranted. I've opened this up as a public wiki, rather than a private space. Feel free to link to this main page from your blog, though I'll also ask at this early stage that people not excerpt material or dissect any of the material in detail because we're not at the public discussion point yet.


At a later date, I'll post a considerable amount of material from the book—as well as a great deal of material not included in the book—and at that time we'll open it up to the blog community. But for now, this wiki is set up only for collaborative editing and nothing else.


How to proceed: It's simple. Select a chapter there on the right. If you want to make an edit or insert a comment, hit the Edit This Page button.


Check back often. I'll be posting the entire book here in the next few weeks.


If you'd like to learn more about wikis by taking an introductory tour of the Socialtext Workspace, start here. Also, see Help for tips on using this Workspace.


Thank you!


— J.D. Lasica
