Similar to the invention of priniting technology changing manuscript culture and opening authorship and intellectual property issues, access to digital network technology has brought access and democracy to the value and disposition of information. Internet devices and www offer individuals and communities participation in artistic and scientific activities. Digital networks have shifted the level of mobility, speed of broadcasting and accest to media for publicizing (cultural) content. It has changed as well the idea of what authorship and intellectual property means.

Parts of academic and scientific research institute around the world publish results of intellectual activities (writings, image archives, software, music) in publically accessible systems (Open Access - OA or Creative Commons - CC). The motivation for such a stance and the economic and civic gesture offers an alternative to the market model of communications within civil, scientific and artistic communities and to economic and ideological systems of neo-liberalism in general. Some artistic intiatives publicise and distribute works of art on the internet and by the same principle they sometimes come into conflict with powerful institutions.

The marking „open access“ means - „open access to the public internet, allowing random users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or create links to entire content of those articles, harvest for indexing, transfer it as data for software, or use it for other legal aims without financial, legal or technical limits with exception of those which are an inseparable part of the access to the internet itself. The only limit to reproduction and distributions and the only applicable copyright protection in this area should provide the creator control over the integrity of their work and right to a number of acknowledgements and listed authorship“

Peer to per, P2P, or client-client is the same marking as a decentralized electronic network where individual users communicate directly.

As well, economic, or monetary systems, alternative to majority societal political systems.
