Our friends at CopyNight Seattle gave us a heads up on two upcoming local appearances by Christine Harold, author of the new book, OurSpace: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture. The book examines the phenomenon of culture jamming, which is the practice of using mass media to comment on the evils of mass media. Fighting the power. Sticking it to The Man, and all that. If you’re a fan of Creative Commons, AdBusters, or the Yes Men, Harold’s book might be right up your alley.
