AboutFree Culture Swarthmore (formerly known as the Swarthmore Coalition for the Digital Commons) is a student organization at Swarthmore College inspired by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Lawrence Lessig, Creative Commons and the Free Software Foundation. It is dedicated to promoting a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, maintaining free and open standards for information, and resisting the recent radical expansion of intellectual property law (as exemplified by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act).
