= About Free Culture UK =

Free Culture UK is a grassroots movement promoting an '''open, participatory culture'''. We believe that individuals and communities should be empowered to create, and that this can be done by legal, social and political means. We also oppose those who would restrict our creative freedom, whether by extending laws relating to copyright, repressing new technologies or promoting a closed, proprietary future for culture.

'''You have the power to make a difference'''! You can participate in the movement, devoting as little or as much time as you want, to defend and promote cultural spaces like Free Software, Creative Commons and the public domain.
