JOHN PERRY BARLOW
Who Owns the Garden of the Mind?

Once called the OEThomas Jefferson of cyberspaceí John Perry Barlow has
beena Wyoming rancher, co-writer of songs with The Grateful Dead, and a key
figure in debates about cyberliberties, copyright in a digital age, and the
digital divide. He has been on Wiredís masthead since its inception and his
manifesto A Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace has been widely
distributed on the net. On an increasingly surveillanced planet, and in a
world where intellectual property is owned by major corporations such as
AOL/Time Warner, John Perry Barlow talks about politics and ownership.
